Characteristics of Teacher Induction Programs and Turnover Rates of Beginning Teachers
Kang, Seok; Berliner, David C.
Teacher Educator, v47 n4 p268-282 2012
The federal School and Staffing Survey (SASS) and Teacher Follow-up Survey (TFS) were used to examine the impacts of induction activities on beginning teacher turnover. This study excluded those teachers who moved or left schools for unavoidable and involuntary reasons, a confounding factor in previous research. This analysis revealed that three induction activities are beneficial in significantly reducing turnover rates for beginning teachers: seminars, common planning time, and extra classroom assistance. (Contains 6 tables and 1 figure.)
