Teacher retention has become a national crisis. This case study describes one principal's efforts to support new teachers and reduce the turnover rate at her school. Recognizing the problem a few years ago, the principal took what she thought were a number of proactive, decisive steps to resolve the issue—she is doing all the right things. However, instead of improving, her new teacher attrition and migration rates are actually getting worse.

Key Words: teacher turnover • teacher retention • teacher support • teacher shortage
