This project explores why teachers stay in the profession. Existing research on teacher attrition and retention primarily focuses on teachers’ reasons for leaving the profession. This research project aims to explore why teachers stay in the profession with particular focus on teachers in public primary and lower secondary schools in Denmark. The ambition is to create a research-based foundation for working proactively rather than reactively with the retention of both newly qualified and long-serving teachers, thereby shifting the approach from prevention to a more positive discourse concerning the teaching profession.
The project runs from 2024 to 2027
It is funded by DFF Sapere Aude research leader and AUFF Nova, pilot study
