The symposium focuses the nation's attention on a critical policy issue -- the severity of teacher turnover in STEM K-12 mathematics and science -- and identifies evidence-based strategies for addressing this issue. The project proposes a symposium that brings together researchers, policymakers, practitioners and opinion leaders. The meeting is designed to: (1) develop a comprehensive picture of the current knowledge base around teacher turnover; and (2) identify key strategies to improve the retention, quality and diversity of the STEM teacher workforce. The Intellectual merit of this proposal lies in building on the established record of the National Commission on Teaching and America's Future (NCTAF) who have produced several far-reaching reports. The broader impact will be in the identification of policies that can address teacher turnover and retention, disseminate them widely and begin to identify a future research agenda.

研讨会将国家的注意力集中在一个关键的政策问题上-STEM K-12数学和科学教师流动的严重性-并确定了解决这一问题的循证战略。该项目提议举办一次研讨会，将研究人员、决策者、从业人员和舆论领袖聚集在一起。会议旨在：（1）全面了解当前教师流动的知识基础;（2）确定提高STEM教师队伍保留率、质量和多样性的关键战略。这一建议的知识价值在于建立在国家教育和美国未来委员会（NCTAF）的既定记录上，该委员会已经编写了几份影响深远的报告。更广泛的影响将是确定能够解决教师更替和留用问题的政策，广泛传播这些政策，并开始确定未来的研究议程。
