Rhonda Haus started her career in the secondary school system where she has seen and been a part of many changes. She gave a unique perspective into Regina Public Schools and highlight the systems specific goals along with their successes and failures.

Kaylan Gazda spoke about the elementary school system and her experience in a variety of grades and schools. Her time in an experimental classroom and in another country provided many challenges. However, those challenges and obstacles made her a better teacher for her current job in a split classroom. Jordan McFarlan was able to provide insight in process of building a new program in a high school from the ground up. He was able to list challenges he faced and ways to respond to those challenges. Jesamy Unger presented what is was it is like to be a student taking education and the lessons she learned throughout her journey.

According to Celine Provini, from Education World, new teachers leave the profession for a variety of reasons including: Unrealistic federal and state mandates. Many new teachers feel as if the state and federal standards are not obtainable. Lack of support from fellow teachers, administration, and parents can also be a major

Overall, high rates of teacher turnover have direct monetary costs and alter the distribution of teacher experience and skill across districts. Dr. Maxwell, the Superintendent of PGCPS formed a Transition Team from which four subcommittees were formed one being the Teaching and Learning Committee (TL). The TL examined research on professional literature to answer the question and determined that in order for students to receive the high-quality education that prepares them to succeed in post-secondary opportunities, staff members must have instructional resources and professional learning opportunities to build their capacities

In response to the general questions at the beginning of the questionnaire that were intended as straightforward factual questions to slide the subjects gently into discussion, it was shown that there is a breadth of teaching experience as expected. The minimum length of time teaching was five years and the longest was thirty-eight years. However, because two of the respondents had been employed in careers other than teaching the length of service did not mirror the age profile. This is significant in that this is an established team who has previously worked through many changes together. There was a range of responsibilities in terms of both subject expertise and responsibilities in terms of pay scale i.e. there were responses from teachers on the main pay scale, upper scale and from teachers with teaching and learning responsibility points.

The main arguments in this ERIC Digest article is that there is an increasing need of teachers of color, but the there are not enough minorities going into the teaching profession. The point of this article is to highlight the the unbalanced increase of minority students and the decrease of minority teachers in schools, and how the decrease of minority teachers affects both minority and non-minority students. The article goes on to highlight data about the number of minorities and whites who enter the education profession compared to the number that drop out of the profession after five years or so and their reasons for leaving.

The Queensland School Reform Longitudinal Study (Lingard et al., 2001) associated Productive Pedagogies framework was implemented by many schools as a guide to improve teaching and curriculum through reflective practice and high quality teaching. It was influenced by social necessities to:

The survey for this study was designed to examine the reasons teachers leave the Bridgeport Public Schools. Two surveys will be examined, the exit survey from the district and the principals survey. Both surveys were administered via Google Forms. The principals survey was designed with fixed choices and open ended questions. This provided the research the opportunity to

This is therefore enough evidence that there are factors which could lead to teacher’s low or high turnover in schools. While low turnover is beneficial to the employer, high turnover is detrimental and costly to the employer in terms of the money used in recruiting, retention and teacher compensation. Therefore, it will be good to study some of the factors and briefly analyze their effect on teachers’ turnover.

Interviews. Interviews will constitute a major part of the research design. I will conduct structured, face-to-face recorded interviews with approximately 5-7 principals and 8-10 teachers to promote the sharing of personal history, perspectives, supports and experiences in order to generate best practices for this and future studies relating to teacher attrition. As Patton explains:

Queensland’s College of Teachers (QCT) conducted a research project from 2006-2012 which investigated attrition of recent Queensland graduate teachers. This report

I suddenly began to experience teachers come in anywhere from one day to one month leaving abruptly without notification. Finally, a teacher came to me in tears expressing the torment that she had gone through under the leadership of my assistant and her clique. My assistant had the tension level extremely high; none of the teachers outside of her clique trusted each other. One teacher came to me crying hysterically because she felt that her co – teacher had stolen her keys. All five dysfunctions discussed by Lencioni were evident and operating to their full potential under her leadership.

Cheek’s study found the following: “Almost 54% of the teachers at the traditional school stated that they would not return to teaching, whereas only 24% of the teachers at the reformed school surmise that the teachers implementing massive reform would be less inclined to remain in the teaching field” (Cheek 2003). Teachers in school settings involving transformation and improvement are actually more devoted in the teaching process. The Maslach Burnout Inventory Educators Survey (MBI-ES) helps to identify the burnout syndrome including emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and lack of personal achievement. This is said to show that self-emotions and stress increase whereas feelings of success and productivity decrease due to the emotional state of exhaustion. “The limitations are participation and instrumentation,” (Cheek, 2003). A little over half of the teachers said they suffered from mental health problems; therefore, they had to leave their

The turnover of music teachers in music schools has been proven to be an ongoing global phenomenon. This is particularly true in Malaysia according to Wong & Tay’s (2010) personal interview with parents, music students, teachers and principals. The result of the interviews seems to suggest that music schools are faced with high turnover of music teachers. There were many evidences in past literature (Mahdi et al., 2012; Zahra et al., 2013) that lack of job satisfaction was a significance cause of turnover among employees. Despite the critical turnover rate, it is sad to know that there were very little research that investigates the causes of such phenomenon, especially in the context of music educational businesses.

METHOD The study is descriptive, qualitative research on teachers as they attempted to meet new standards. Specifically it is a case study of an elementary school faculty, done in an attempt to

In the first year of teaching, four out of ten teachers quit. An educators job is not a walk in the park. In Kansas, we are facing a shortage of teachers. The most areas that are facing these shortages are Special Education, Adaptive and Functional Special Education, Early Childhood Handicapped, and hearing and visual impaired. It has been reported that Fewer students have chosen to major in education. There are many reasons that are causing the shortages, lack of
