Testing a Model of Special Educators' Intent to Stay in Teaching.

Cross, Lawrence H.; Billingsley, Bonnie S.

Exceptional Children, v60 n5 p411-21 Mar-Apr 1994

This study used path analysis to examine the effects of work-related factors--including principal support, stress, role problems, job satisfaction, and commitment--on 542 Virginia special educators' expressions of intent to stay in teaching. The study concluded that these work-related variables should be included in strategies for retaining special educators. (Author/DB)
