Linking teacher survey data to statewide administrative data at the teacher level, we find intent to turn over is predictive of immediate turnover, but that turnover behavior can lag behind intent. This extends past research that can only observe teachers for one year after reported intent. 2/5

We draw on a variety of other survey measures on organizational commitment and working conditions, and find that improvement goal buy-in, climate, leadership, and school safety are all associated with lower intent to turn over and actual turnover behavior. 3/5

Broadly, our findings suggest that teacher intent to turn over should be taken seriously as even teachers who do not immediately turn over may take time to follow through on their intent. We also show school leaders may be able to mitigate eventual turnover by improving working conditions. 4/5
