33.038 - National and International Perspectives on Teacher Satisfaction and Working Conditions

Fri, April 17, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Marriott, Floor: Sixth Level, Michigan/Michigan State

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Teacher satisfaction impacts a number of areas critical to creating a high-quality teacher workforce. Job satisfaction has an impact on teacher recruitment and retention, and teacher attrition can adversely affect student achievement. This session provides an in-depth look at teacher satisfaction and working conditions from multiple perspectives. Data are from national and international education studies (as well as some state results), including trend data. Findings are presented for public and private school teachers (separately and aggregated) as well as for teachers at various levels within elementary and secondary education. In addition to descriptive results, multivariate analyses examine teacher and school characteristics associated with teacher satisfaction, including analyses to evaluate how various education policies are potentially impacting teacher satisfaction.
