A Comprehensive Genuineness of Truths Contributing to Novice Title I Teacher Retention: A Collective Case Study of Novice Teachers in Title I Public Schools

ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Baylor University
Teacher attrition has been a leading issue within the United States for several decades, especially among novice Title I teachers (Farmer, 2020; Madigan & Kim, 2021). Projections of novice teacher attrition rates show that schools will continue to see a significant increase in rates after the 2021 to 2022 school year due to changes in education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Growing attrition rates for novice Title I teachers significantly impact school and student success across the nation. To address the growing concern of novice teacher attrition, factors that impact a novice teacher's decision to remain in the profession must be examined. This qualitative collective case study explored factors contributing to novice teacher retention within Title I schools for nine novice Title I teachers from Texas, California, Idaho, and New York. Data collection occurred through three interviews with each participant, including one unstructured interview and two semi-structured interviews. The researcher specifically focused on identifying key factors that contributed to the retention of these novice Title I teachers. The researcher utilized Herzberg's two-factor motivation-hygiene theory as the theoretical framework for identifying and classifying themes that emerged from the data (Herzberg et al., 1959). The data revealed four themes that contributed to novice Title I teacher retention for the nine participants: realistic and collaborative campus expectations, support for professional development, positive school culture, and promotion of self-efficacy and motivation. Ultimately, the research presented in this study addresses gaps in the research pertaining to novice teacher attrition within Title I schools. Rather than focusing on factors that lead to attrition, this study focuses on what matters most--factors that contribute to teacher retention. By focusing on identifying factors that influenced retention of novice Title I teachers, Title I school leaders can improve experiences for novice teachers related to each factor to ultimately improve retention within their campuses.
