Teacher Retention: A Further Examination
Abstract
This study tested Chapman's model of the influences on teacher retention in teaching. Discriminant analysis was used to test the significance of differences among four groups of college graduates with teaching certificates: (a) taught continuously, (b) intermittent teachers, (c) left teaching, and (d) never taught. Significant differences were found among the groups in a pattern that supported the model. The four groups responded to different incentives in formulating their career choices. Implications for teacher education, school administration, and public policy concerned with the quality of schooling are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
