This project is a three-year exploratory study on schools that have low- and high- retention rates in an urban school district. This research will address low teacher retention for science and math teachers by comparing the policies and practices of high- and low-retention middle and high schools, and by examining the explicit and hidden costs associated with teacher turnover. The specific goals of this project are to (1) identify school and district policies and practices associated with high retention rates, (2) determine whether there are differential effects of successful retention policies for middle and high school science and math teachers, and (3) develop a comprehensive model of the cost of teacher turnover. The anticipated outcomes of the project include: 1. Profiles of the six high- and six low-retention middle and high schools included in the study, 2. A cross-school analysis that describes the policies and practices associated with high- and low- retention schools and how they differentially affect math and science teachers, 3. A cost-of-turnover analysis that includes the specification of the explicit and hidden cost categories associated with teacher turnover and the application of the derived formula to the district, and 4. A plan to replicate this exploratory study in four to six urban districts across the country in order to test its findings.

该项目是一项为期三年的探索性研究，研究对象是城市学区中保留率低和高的学校。 本研究将通过比较高保留率和低保留率的初中和高中的政策和实践，并通过研究与教师流动相关的显性和隐性成本，来解决科学和数学教师的教师保留率低的问题。 该项目的具体目标是（1）确定与高保留率相关的学校和地区政策和做法，（2）确定是否有成功的保留政策对初中和高中科学和数学教师的不同影响，以及（3）开发教师流动成本的综合模型。 该项目的预期成果包括：1。六个高和六个低保留初中和高中的研究，2。一项跨学校分析，描述了与高保留率和低保留率学校相关的政策和实践，以及它们如何不同地影响数学和科学教师。一个成本的周转率分析，其中包括明确的和隐藏的成本类别与教师流动和衍生公式的应用程序的规范，以区，和4。计划在全国四到六个城市地区重复这项探索性研究，以检验其结果。
