Posted by CR Ed on September 15, 08
Clearly, the belief of the folks at CREducation.org is that classroom conflict is a problem for new teachers, and one that contributes to the high number of teachers that leave after just 2 or 3 years in the classroom.
A recent article in Good Magazine provides a glimpse into this problem with short interviews with seven teachers who struggled and left teaching (or relocated).
For more details on the current state of teacher retention, this 2006 Washington Post article “Half of Teachers Quit in 5 Years” provides a quick summary.
