The Reasons Teachers Stay
Lessons from High Retention Schools, Districts, and Communities
Book •
Doug Larkin and Suzanne Poole Patzelt present findings from a six-year longitudinal study across diverse U.S.
districts to explain why teachers stay.
The authors identify key factors—especially collegial relationships, supportive leadership, and reduced isolation—that form an ecosystem sustaining teachers.
They introduce the teacher embeddedness framework to show retention results from many small links between school, profession, and community.
The book documents practical district- and school-level practices that strengthen those links and addresses policy and equity implications.
It aims to shift focus from single solutions like pay increases to creating conditions that collectively retain educators.
