Abstract | A large-scale, nationwide analysis of Teach For America teacher turnover presents a deeper picture of which TFAers stay, which ones leave the profession and some suggestions about why they leave. The authors learned that nearly two-thirds (60.5%) of TFA teachers continue as public school teachers beyond their two-year commitment; more than half (56.4%) leave their initial placements in low-income schools after two years, but 43.6% stay longer; and by their fifth year, 14.8% continue to teach in the same low-income schools to which they were originally assigned. When TFA alumni leave, they typically leave the profession for the same reasons that other teachers leave the profession: poor working conditions or career opportunities outside teaching.
