Concerns have been raised that teacher experience and knowledge may be lost to the profession through attrition and retirement (Ramsey, 2000; Ingersoll, 2001; Williams, 2002; McGaw, 2003; Lonsdale & Ingvarson, 2003; Skilbeck & Connell, 2003, 2004) . Teacher attrition comes at a cost to individual teachers and to the community (Korthagen, 2004; Connell, 2007; Rinke, 2007; Buchanan, 2009; 2010; Schuck, Aubusson, Buchanan & Russell, 2012) . Hence there is a need to investigate the experiences of early career teachers (ECTs) to consider how these experiences influence ECTs’ decisions about staying in or leaving the profession. For teacher educators, knowing about ECTs’ experiences provides insights that enable them to enhance teacher education programs and better prepare teachers for their first years of teaching.  \nThis paper reports on an aspect of a large-scale longitudinal study on early career teachers’ decisions to remain in or leave the profession. The overarching research question was: Why do some early career teachers choose to remain in the profession and why do others choose to leave? This paper describes and analyses the experiences of teachers participating in the study and highlights implications for teacher retention.  \nReview of Related Literature  \nThe aim of this study was to understand more fully the ways in which beginning teachers negotiate the transition from university to school environment as well as map the terrain from novice to accomplished teacher. Studies on this transition to the first years of teaching have indicated a move by teachers from “an initial buoyant state of energy and enthusiasm to a reality zone of day-to-day school life that is … confronting”(Manuel, 2003a, 144) . Goddard and Foster (2001) and Schuck, et al. (2012) have reported similar teacher transitions in Canada and Australia respectively.  \nThe experiences of ECTs have been extensively researched in the literature and studies indicate the problem of attrition is considerable. Manuel’s (2003a) research study used teacher-centred data in a bid to address the “alarming attrition rates of [beginning] teachers … in their first three to five years of their ","cbCaire6ws37SCjx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaire6ws37SCjx","pdf",173933,"English","# Introduction\n## Review of Related Literature\n## Early Career Teacher Experiences and Transition","[{\"question\":\"What question does the study address about early career teachers?\",\"answer\":\"It asks why some early career teachers choose to remain in the profession while others choose to leave.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is teacher attrition considered a serious issue?\",\"answer\":\"Attrition creates costs for individual teachers and the community, and it can lead to loss of experience and knowledge within the profession.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the literature describe the transition into teaching?\",\"answer\":\"Studies describe a shift from an initial “buoyant” period of energy and enthusiasm to day-to-day school realities that are more confronting.\"}]","Teacher Retention and Attrition: Views of Early Career Teachers - Article 8 | PDF",1792077399]
