| Abstrakt: | This study investigated teacher attrition and retention among 527 teachers who earned credentials between 1991 and 1998. They all attended a regional campus of a large university located in a rural area of southern California. Although the area had high poverty and many English language learners, the teacher attrition rate was markedly lower than nationally reported figures. Individual interviews of a randomly selected sample were conducted to determine differences between the conditions these teachers encountered during their first years of teaching and the conditions that contributed to dissatisfaction and attrition among teachers reported in Ingersoll and Smith (2003). No major differences in teaching conditions were found. Alternative explanations for the high retention rate are explored. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
