Keeping New Teachers: Induction Components and Retention

We fight so hard to become teachers. We go to school for years, student teach, take multiple certification tests, and finally land a position. Then, in less than five years, half of us will leave the profession. With a high attrition rate, it is critical to identify why new teachers migrate or leave. Dr. Turner's research crosses thirty different Georgia school districts to ascertain the perceptions of new teachers and migrating veteran teachers and to identify the efficacy of induction programs and the affect of variables on the choice to stay, leave education, or migrate.
