Abstract
There are very few issues challenging the education profession as much as the current and increasing shortage of teachers (Zeller & Zhang, 2016). Across the nation teacher attrition is high and is one of the major causes of teacher shortage (Ingersoll, 2004). Compounding those leaving the field for retirement is the high rate of teachers exiting the profession annually for other reasons, such as disagreeable working conditions, lack of preparation, and low compensation (Zeller & Zhang, 2016). To address this problem, research is needed to determine elements that affect retention and teacher’s decision to remain or exit the teaching profession (Zeller & Zhang, 2016).This study could prove significantly beneficial to teacher preparation program and developing the contents of the programs to address the needs of producing well-rounded stellar educators.
