Urban Teachers Who Quit: Why They Leave and What They Do.

Haberman, Martin; Rickards, William H.

Urban Education, v25 n3 p297-303 Oct 1990

Analyzes why teachers leave urban schools and their subsequent employment, using the questionnaire responses of 50 of the 124 teachers who left the Milwaukee (Wisconsin) public schools in 1988. Finds that 90 percent of the "leavers" find teaching jobs in other schools. Suggests how the problems cited by the leavers could be ameliorated. (FMW)
