A Review of the Research Literature on Teacher Recruitment and Retention

Abstract

In the face of a growing school-age population, U.S. schools and school districts are struggling to maintain teaching standards while recruiting bright new teachers and retaining their most-effective ones. This literature review represents a comprehensive and critical examination of research published since 1980 on the topic of teacher recruitment and retention in the United States. It provides an understanding of the patterns governing the entry and exit of individuals into and from teaching.
