Supports Associated with Teacher Retention in Michigan. Study Snapshot. REL 2021-108
Regional Educational Laboratory Midwest
This Study Snapshot highlights key findings from a study that identified supports implemented by local education agencies (traditional school districts and charter schools) that are associated with teacher retention. Statewide teacher shortages are hindering Michigan's efforts to ensure that all students have equitable access to qualified teachers. Implementing teacher supports--which may be policies, practices, or programs--to increase teacher retention offers a way to alleviate shortages. The study found that supports associated with teacher retention varied by the type of local education agency and the percentage of students who were economically disadvantaged. Findings from this study can help education agencies in Michigan prioritize which of 30 teacher supports examined merit more rigorous investigation. [For the full report, see ED614815.
