| Abstract: | A national survey of teacher attrition was conducted by means of interviews with a sample of former teachers who left public schools within the last five years to work in other occupations. Graphs and charts accompanied by narrative discussion are presented, covering the following topics: (1) profile of former teachers compared to current teachers; (2) why teachers leave; (3) teaching and job stress; (4) where teachers go; (5) former teachers look back; (6) possible steps to retain good teachers; (7) attracting good people into teaching; and (8) preparing the next generation of teachers. Two appendixes provide (1) a detailed description of the survey methodology and (2) the survey questionnaire with marginal frequencies. (JD) |
