THE REVOLVING DOOR: HOW LEADERS PUSH TEACHER TURNOVER
by
Suzanne Kay Bryant Miller
In today’s age of accountability leaders of schools cannot afford to lose quality teachers. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 requiring schools to staff all classrooms with “highly qualified teachers” creates a major challenge. Today, more than ever, school systems need to retain their experienced and effective teachers.
While many reasons have been attributed to the revolving-door phenomenon known as teacher turnover, this research suggests that school leaders’ behaviors play a major role in the issue. This qualitative inquiry focused on the perceptions of veteran …

Schools, Community, And Family: The Promises Of Community-Based School Reform And School Success, Shannon Sue Rishky
Boise State University Theses and Dissertations
A new trend in U.S. education is community-based schools. Community schools offer on-site programs and services to whole families to improve student success.

This thesis, a case study of an elementary school in a small U.S. urban center, identifies key factors for the success of such programs. Through in-depth interviews with administrators, teachers, and support staff the following factors were …
