OnRamps, the signature dual-enrollment program at the University of Texas at Austin, incorporates many professional learning and networking strategies that can potentially impact teacher retention. This study examined the extent to which OnRamps teachers are more likely to remain at their campus and in the teaching profession in Texas. We find that participation in OnRamps, as well as teaching at a campus with more advanced academics, has a positive impact on teacher retention at the campus and state level.  \nWhat We Studied  \nTeacher retention has long been an important topic for district and school administrators as well as policymakers. Focus on this topic has grown as retention rates have decreased in the wake of the COVID pandemic. According to the Texas Education Agency, teacher attrition rates in Texas historically hovered around 10.4% . However, 13.4 percent of teachers left teaching after the 2021-22 school year and 12.2 percent left after the following year (Landa, 2024) .  \nGiven the importance of teachers to student achievement and attainment (Rivkin, et al., 2005), a variety of programs and strategies designed to improve teacher retention have been implemented and studied over time. There is evidence that professional learning support (Burns, et al., 2020) and professional networks (Smith and Ingersoll, 2004) can have positive impacts on teacher retention.  \nOnRamps, the signature dual-enrollment program at the University of Texas at Austin, offers extensive professional learning support and an ability for instructors to develop new professional networks. As part of the program requirements, teachers new to implementing an OnRamps course participate in two weeks of professional learning and teachers implementing OnRamps courses in the second year and beyond participate in two days of professional learning sessions each summer. Additionally, all teachers attend up to six virtual conferences throughout the school year. These professional learning institutes and virtual conferences provide training on curriculum, pedagogy, and technology.  \nThe program design intentionally includes facilitated networks to provide OnRamps instructorsan opportunity to expand their own professional networks and create professional learning communities with other teachers in their field or working in similar school settings, allowing them to connect with other instructors teaching the same curriculum even if there are no other such teachers on their campus.  \nGiven the professional learning support and networking that OnRamps provides, this study investigated the extent to which participation in OnRamps promotes teacher retention. We looked at teachers in Texas to see the characteristics that are associated with becoming an OnRamps instructor, the impact of OnRamps on teacher retention rates, and the likelihood of professional advancement for OnRamps teachers.  \nHow We Analyzed the Data  \nSamples  \nWe examined high school teachers in Texas who taught at a public or charter school between the 2013-14 and 2021-22 school years, as identified by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) . The primary subset of this broader sample was any high school teachers who taught at least one dualenrollment course through OnRamps over this time period. Distinct fiscal year – instructor IDs comprised the entire panel data (n = 1, 102,799), with 1,098,183 instructors over the 9-year period having no association with OnRamps and 4,616 having OnRamps experience. Table 1 displays the number of OnRamps and Non-OnRamps instructors by year. The yearly panel data was completed with information about the district and campus wher","cbCaihp2meiWmPag","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihp2meiWmPag","pdf",557091,11,"English","# Executive Summary\n# What We Studied\n# How We Analyzed the Data\n## Samples\n## Outcomes","[{\"question\":\"What is the main focus of the policy brief?\",\"answer\":\"The brief focuses on teacher retention in Texas and examines how participation in OnRamps may influence teachers staying at their campuses and in the profession.\"},{\"question\":\"Which program is analyzed, and where is it based?\",\"answer\":\"The study analyzes OnRamps, the signature dual-enrollment program at the University of Texas at Austin.\"},{\"question\":\"How is teacher retention measured in the analysis?\",\"answer\":\"Retention is measured as state retention (teaching anywhere in Texas from year t-1 to t) and campus retention (staying at the same school), alongside professional advancement measures.\"}]","OnRamps and Teacher Retention in Texas - Policy Brief - November 2024 | PDF",1792061081,28]
