To cement the reality that there are data-supported issues that exist beyond the teacher, which result in teacher attrition and dissatisfaction within the field of education, the following are a few statistics that have driven our resolve and fueled the need for solutions:
“Roughly half a million US teachers leave the profession each year -- a turnover rate of over 20% [Alliance for Excellent Education, 2014]” (Aguilar, 2018).
“Teacher attrition among first-year teachers has increased about 40% in the past two decades (Ingersoll, Merrill, and Stuckey, 2014). A range of factors , such as morale, accountability, expectations, and salaries, certainly contribute to the attrition problems, but stress and poor management of stressors are also rated as a top reason why teachers leave the profession (Carver-Thomas and Darling-Hammond, 2017)” (Aguilar, 2018).
“The rate of attrition is roughly 50 percent higher in poor schools than in wealthier ones” (Alliance for Excellent Education).
“This [teacher attrition] rate is much higher in urban areas, in secondary classrooms, and in hard-to-staff content areas such as special education, math, science, and foreign languages (Carver-Thomas and Darling-Hammond, 2017)” (Aguilar, 2018).
“It is estimated that teacher turnover costs school districts upwards of $2.2 billion per year (Alliance for excellent education, 2014) and the cost of replacing a teacher in an urban district exceeds $20,000 per teacher (Carver-Thomas and Darling-Hammond, 2017). For site administrators, turnover rates may be comparable, particularly in urban areas, but the data is not systematically collected as it is for teacher attrition” (Aguilar, 2018).
“Of the 3,377,900 public school teachers who were teaching during the 2011–12 school year, 84 percent remained at the same school ("stayers"), 8 percent moved to a different school ("movers"), and 8 percent left the profession ("leavers") during the following year” (National Center for Education Statistics, 2014).
“Among public school teachers with 1–3 years of experience, 80 percent stayed in their base-year school, 13 percent moved to another school, and 7 percent left teaching in 2012–13” (National Center for Education Statistics, 2014).
“Among public school teacher movers, 59 percent moved from one public school to another public school in the same district, 38 percent moved from one public school district to another public school district, and 3 percent moved from a public school to a private school between 2011–12 and 2012–13” (National Center for Education Statistics, 2014).

教师留存（Teacher Retention）

为了证实教育领域中存在超越教师个体的、会引发教师流失(Teacher Attrition)与职业倦怠的实证性问题，以下若干统计数据坚定了我们的研究决心，并推动了相关解决方案的探索需求：

"美国每年约有50万名教师脱离教职，人员流动率超20%[全美优秀教育联盟(Alliance for Excellent Education), 2014]"（Aguilar, 2018）。

"近二十年来，第一年任教教师的流失率上升了约40%（Ingersoll、Merrill与Stuckey, 2014）。士气、问责机制、工作期望与薪酬水平等一系列因素无疑加剧了教师流失问题，但职业压力与压力管理不当也被列为教师离职的首要原因之一（Carver-Thomas和Darling-Hammond, 2017）"（Aguilar, 2018）。

"贫困学校的教师流失率约比富裕学校高出50%"（全美优秀教育联盟(Alliance for Excellent Education)）。

"这一教师流失率在城市地区、中学课堂以及特殊教育、数学、科学、外语等师资短缺学科中显著更高（Carver-Thomas和Darling-Hammond, 2017）"（Aguilar, 2018）。

"据估算，教师流动每年给学区造成的损失高达22亿美元以上（全美优秀教育联盟(Alliance for Excellent Education), 2014），且城市学区更换一名教师的成本超过2万美元（Carver-Thomas和Darling-Hammond, 2017）。对于学校管理者而言，人员流动率或许与之相当，尤其是在城市地区，但相关数据并未像教师流失数据那样得到系统性收集"（Aguilar, 2018）。

"2011-2012学年在职的3377900名公立学校教师中，次年有84%仍留在原校（‘留存者’）、8%转至其他学校（‘流动者’）、8%脱离教职（‘离职者’）"（美国国家教育统计中心(National Center for Education Statistics), 2014）。

"2012-2013学年，在拥有1-3年教龄的公立学校教师中，80%仍留在入职当年的学校、13%转至其他学校、7%脱离教职"（美国国家教育统计中心(National Center for Education Statistics), 2014）。

"2011-2012学年至2012-2013学年期间，在流动的公立学校教师中，59%从同一学区内的一所公立学校转至另一所公立学校、38%从一个学区转至另一个学区、3%从公立学校转至私立学校"（美国国家教育统计中心(National Center for Education Statistics), 2014）。
