Abstract

This study builds extends previous work by examining the relationships between teacher mobility and three major dimensions of school organizational conditions—administrative leadership, teacher autonomy, and accountability policies, with the 2011-12 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) and 2012-13 Teacher Follow-up Survey (TFS). The findings indicate that teacher's negative perceptions of their level of control over their teaching practices are predictors of moving to another school or leaving the profession.
