Preparing [or Prepared] to Leave?: A Professor-Student Dialogue about the Realities of Urban Teaching by Alyssa Hadley Dunn & Samantha B. Durrance — August 15, 2014This essay presents a dialogue between a new teacher and a former professor, generated when the teacher decided to leave the classroom after two years. Contextualized within the literature of teacher attrition and offering implications for teacher education, the essay explores what it means to be (a) a novice educator in the era of accountability and (b) a teacher educator tasked with preparing new teachers for this challenging climate. The authors share their perspectives in the hopes of starting a discussion about an important issue that remains relatively unexplored in the research literature: the stories of teachers who leave and their former professors who watch them go.To view the full-text for this article you must be signed-in with the appropropriate membership.
