| Summary: | This report focuses on teacher turnover in Maryland's Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) among two groups: (1) Teachers who left MCPS due to resignation or termination ("teacher attrition"), and (2) elementary teachers who transferred or moved to other schools within MCPS ("elementary teacher mobility"). The ultimate goal of this report is to inform policies and practices that will support successful teacher staffing in MCPS. The analysis of teacher attrition due to resignation or termination used a sample of all classroom teachers at any school level from FY 2010 to 2018 and was conducted in three time frames: (1) over the course of two years (FY 2016-2018); (2) over the course of five years (FY 2013-2018); and (3) over the course of eight years (FY 2010-2018). The analysis of elementary teacher mobility was conducted for each year from FY 2010 to 2017, and used a sample of elementary classroom teachers during this eight-year period who stayed in the same school or moved to a different school in a consecutive year. A multilevel binary logistic regression was used to test the relationships of teacher and school-level factors with: (1) the likelihood of teachers leaving MCPS by resignation or termination; and (2) the likelihood of elementary teachers moving to a different school within MCPS. Additional analysis was conducted to observe if elementary teachers moved to more or less complex schools from FY 2010 to FY 2017. This report details the methodology and findings of the study. |
