Tenure And Turnover Of Public School Teachers In New Mexico, Burton T. Williams

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

It is generally recognized that, other things being equal, teachers who have been in a system long enough to become acquainted with local conditions are able to give more efficient service to the schools than new teachers.
