Markowitz  \nUniversity of California, Los Angeles  \nLaura Bellows   \nUniversity of Virginia  \nKatharine Sadowski  \nCornell University  \nThis brief provides a systemwide look at early childhood teacher turnover using data from all publicly funded, center-based early childhood programs in Louisiana, including subsidized child care, Head Start, and pre-kindergarten. It provides new evidence on the prevalence of turnover and explores whether teachers who leave differ from those who stay on a widely used measure of teacher–child interaction quality. Results show that more than one third of teachers leave their program from one year to the next, and the vast majority of teachers who leave are not teaching in another program the following year. Turnover rates are higher among teachers working in child care and with younger children. Compared with teachers who stay, those who leave are rated lower on interaction quality.  \nKeywords: early childhood, teacher research, educational policy, descriptive analysis  \nearly childhood education (eCe) programs can have long-lasting impacts for both children and society (Markowitz et al. , 2018), and research suggests that these benefits hinge on the quality of the early educators in the room (The Institute of Medicine [IOM] & National Research Council [NRC], 2015). Unfortunately, in the United States, the oftentimes poor working conditions faced by the adults who teach and care for young children as well as the related teacher turnover may undermine efforts to expand access to high-quality eCe (Howes, 1999; Totenhagen et al. , 2016; Tran & Winsler, 2011; Whitebook et al. , 2014; Whitebook & Sakai, 2003) .  \nAlthough high turnover rates in eCe are often cited as a problem, the prevalence of turnover across diverse eCe settings—including subsidized child care, Head Start, and state pre-kindergarten—is not well understood (Phillips et al., 2019; Totenhagen et al., 2016; Whitebook et al., 2014) . estimates of turnover vary widely. For example, according to a 2012 national survey of eCe directors, 13% of teachers at public eCe sites left their sites over a 12-month period (Phillips et al., 2019), whereas other national estimates are nearly twice that high (Bassoket al., 2013), and smaller, site-based studies often cite rates as high as 40%(e.g., Tran & Winsler, 2011; Wells, 2015) . That so many existing  \nTeacher Turnover in Early Childhood  \nstudies rely on small, nonrepresentative samples, single eCe sectors, director reports (Totenhagen et al., 2016), or inconsistent definitions of turnover (e.g., site-level, industry-level, cohort-level) makes it difficult to accurately characterize (or address) the problem.  \nIn the K–12 context, longitudinal data systems allow researchers to track teacher exits and transfers across all public schools within a state, and these data have facilitated the large body of research on the prevalence, predictors, and implications of K–12 teacher turnover (Adnot et al., 2017; Hanushek et al., 2016; Redding & Henry, 2018; Ronfeldt et al., 2013; Sorensen & Ladd, 2020). There is no comparable data tracking eCe turnover.  \nA major challenge for tracking eCe turnover is that in the United States, publicly funded, center-based eCe is provided through three sectors: subsidized child care, which includes private businesses that receive public funding to serve children of all ages; federally funded Head Start, which serves children from birth through 5; and school-based pre-kindergarten, which is typically funded through state or local dollars, ","cbCaiuueTiHEyyEh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuueTiHEyyEh","pdf",518385,"English","# Introduction\n## Prior research and measurement challenges\n# Data and methodology\n## Louisiana administrative data and interaction-quality observations\n# Findings\n## Turnover prevalence and next-year employment\n## Variation by sector and child age\n## Differences in interaction quality","[{\"question\":\"What early childhood programs are included in the turnover analysis for Louisiana?\",\"answer\":\"The brief covers all publicly funded, center-based early childhood programs in Louisiana, including subsidized child care, federally funded Head Start, and school-based pre-kindergarten.\"},{\"question\":\"How high is teacher turnover from one year to the next?\",\"answer\":\"More than one third of teachers leave their program from one year to the next, and the vast majority of those who leave are not teaching in another program the following year.\"},{\"question\":\"How do teachers who leave compare with teachers who stay on interaction quality?\",\"answer\":\"Compared with teachers who stay, teachers who leave are rated lower on teacher–child interaction quality.\"}]","New Evidence on Teacher Turnover in Early Childhood | PDF",1792095330,23]
