The effect of teacher turnover on students’ learning

Most teachers understand that attrition has been a dilemma in the profession for years. However, the problem of teacher turnover has lately provoked more widespread public attention. Those circumstances also lead multiple teachers to quit altogether, resulting in high rates of turnover in schools. This revolving door of teachers is embarrassing for schools. Plus, teacher turnover damages student performance, dissuades educators, and is costly for districts. To enhance student achievement and decrease teacher protests, we must advance long-term solutions to support schools in retaining effective teachers. The purpose of the study is to analyze the state of staff turnover in the modern teaching staff, identify its causes and develop recommendations for decision-making aimed at reducing its undesirably high level. As a research method, we used a questionnaire survey as a method that allows us quickly, effectively to investigate the features and problems that arise in the process of psychologically economic assessment of teaching staff turnover. The article considers the problems, dynamics, and causes of staff turnover in the teaching staff. The study novelty and originality lie in the fact that the factors affecting the personnel turnover in the teaching staff are considered (psychological, professional-pedagogical and economic factors are identified). It is shown that job satisfaction is the main psychological factor affecting the turnover of teaching staff.
