ABSTRACT : The current annual teacher attrition rate is about 16%. This loss of teachers results in reduces student achievement and increased financial costs to school districts. Using repeated cross-sectional nationally representative data, we identify the relationship between teacher dissatisfaction and burnout with attrition and whether certain teachers are at risk for dissatisfaction and burnout. We consistently fin dissatisfaction and burnout are higher among teachers in secondary school; teaching a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics subject; with more experience; and in low-income school. Teacher dissatisfaction and burnout are highly associated with teacher intention to leave teaching actual attrition behavior. We discuss implications of our findings for policy and practice.
