The Impact of Teacher Perception Regarding Administrative Support and Retention of Behavior Teachers
Abstract
Students categorized under the disability category of Emotional/Behavioral Disorder are
currently struggling to find success in today’s school system.
The current research suggests that
current graduation rates for
students with EBD
are
astoundingly low (
28%
of African
-
American
students
)
(Sinclair, 2005)
.
There
are
several contributing factors
to this population’s challenges
and the teachers that work with them. While the challenge that these students face are numerous,
a factor that can be controlled and
improved upon is the retention of the teacher at the front of
the classroom.
The purpose of this study is to gain an understanding of the factors that are
causing teachers to leave this specific area of education and to identify ways that this retention
r
ate can be improved upon.
