The Five Factors: How School Leaders Can Improve Teacher Retention
Josh Flores; James V. Shuls
Journal of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, v8 n1 2024
Prior research has identified five in-school factors that impact teacher retention: positive school culture, supportive administration, strong professional development, mentoring programs, and classroom autonomy. While much of the national attention is focused on state or district-level policies to address the teacher retention crisis, this study focuses on how school leaders can improve teacher retention by addressing the five factors. Semi-structured interviews with school leaders were used to provide examples of how principles can improve school culture and increase teacher retention.
