Teacher Professional Characteristics and Attrition in Arizona Traditional Public and Charter Schools","","Analyzing public school teacher employment data from 2009 to 2015, the study explains why teacher attrition is 54% higher in charter schools than in traditional public schools in Arizona. It examines factors tied to differences in teachers’ exit rates across the two school sectors, emphasizing teacher professional characteristics. Results indicate less experienced teachers and those with alternative certification are more likely to leave, especially within charters.

We investigated the factors associated with the differences in exit rates of teachers from traditional public and charter schools in Arizona which has a large charter school sector. Our findings suggest that the major factors behind the gap in retention rates between school sectors in Arizona are teachers’ professional characteristics:  \nless experienced teachers and teachers with alternative certification are more likely to exit schools and, in particular, charter schools which also employ a significantly larger share of these teachers. We argue that charter school and school district leadership might consider interventions, mentoring, and support for teachers in the early stages of their career targeted at novice teachers.  \nKeywords: teacher attrition; traditional public schools; charter schools; teacher experience; teacher certification  \n¿Quedarse o irse?

Investigamos los factores asociados con las diferencias en las tasas de salida de los maestros de las escuelas públicas y chárter tradicionales en Arizona, que tiene un gran sector de escuelas chárter. Nuestros hallazgos sugieren que los principales factores detrás de la brecha en las tasas de retención entre sectores escolares en Arizona son las características profesionales de los maestros: los maestros con menos experiencia y los maestros concertificación alternativa tienen más probabilidades de abandonar las escuelas y, en particular, las escuelas chárter, que también emplean un proporción significativamente mayor de estos maestros. Argumentamos que el liderazgo de las escuelas autónomas y los distritos escolares podría considerar intervenciones, tutorías y apoyo para los maestros en las primeras etapas de su carrera dirigidos a los maestros novatos.  \nPalabras-clave: deserción de maestros; escuelas públicas tradicionales; escuelas charter; experiencia docente; certificación de maestros  \nFicar ou partir?
