#TeacherQuitTok: A Content Analysis of How Teachers Navigate Attrition on TikTok
Kaiser, Forrest J.
School Leadership Review, v17 n2 Article 7 Spr-Sum 2023
Teacher quality can have a significant impact on students' academic achievement (Hattie, 2023). Prior research has noted a connection between the loss of experienced teachers at a school and declines in student success (Hanushek, et al., 2016; Holme, et al., 2018). Increased use of social media as a connective public platform to share thoughts, feelings, and beliefs may offer researchers an opportunity to explore perspectives on the work environment and attrition described in teachers' own voices. The purpose of this study is to use thematic content analysis to examine conversations and factors most discussed by teachers centering on attrition using the TikTok social media platform. Social media offers teachers a way to connect with others and share their thoughts while maintaining a perceived level of professional distance from their workplace. This research will explore how teachers use social media to provide a window into their classroom, working conditions, and decisions to leave or stay. The study was guided by the following questions: (1) How are current and former teachers using the TikTok social media platform to discuss or express their views on the teacher resignation trend? and (2) How do perceived and expressed attrition factors differ between teachers who leave and those who stay?
