Abstract

This qualitative longitudinal research follows thirty science and math teachers across five cohorts from their preparation program into the early career years to better understand the conditions of professional retention and attrition. Findings indicate that these teachers exhibit little agency or discernment in the job search process and typically accept the first position offered with little to no information about the school, students, colleagues, or teaching assignment. This decision has profound consequences for teacher turnover. Retention differences exist between teachers who choose their schools with robust information and those with very limited information. Furthermore, how and why teachers choose schools have profound consequences for their professional success and their persistence in high-need schools. This research study contends that professional retention of math and science teachers in high-need schools starts with teacher articulation of workplace priorities and is coupled with a rich information hiring process.
