Implication

Observational study finds higher teaching quality correlates with lower attrition among special educators, highlighting the retention of effective teachers.

Key Points

Probability of leaving teaching declines as special educators achieve higher value-added scores, after adjusting for teacher and school characteristics.
Eight percent of teachers transitioned into general education positions, and this mobility showed no association with teacher quality or observation scores.
Analysis of evaluation data demonstrates that higher observation scores decrease district turnover, highlighting limitations in current teacher quality measures.
