Life Tables: A New Perspective on Teacher Career Patterns by Sarah R. Cannon & Kelly Iwanaga Becker — July 06, 2015This note demonstrates how life tables can be adapted from demography to studies of teachers’ careers. We provide an example using data from the Schools and Staffing Survey to compare teachers across rural, urban, and suburban locales. Using life tables, we estimate both retention rates and how long we expect teachers to remain at their school depending on their level of experience and find no difference across locales. This methodology could be applied to predict future school staffing needs. To view the full-text for this article you must be signed-in with the appropropriate membership.
