Who Will Teach in Our Public Schools? : Recruiting and Retaining the Best and Brightest

Abstract

Civic society depends upon a well educated citizenry. The ‘front-line’ to a developing and sustaining a well informed citizenry is public schools. The success of our youth depends upon our ability to recruit and retain high quality teachers to work in public education. The United States and other countries face a critical teacher shortage. This poster shares preliminary findings from a study of why people become teachers and what factors influence their decision to stay or leave the profession.
