Teacher Mobility Revisited
利用1965至1974年某大城市学区的数据，通过logit分析发现，教师资历和学生入学人数变化在1970年代对教师流动的解释力远高于1960年代，原因在于流动模式从反映教师偏好转向反映入学人数下降和剩余教师处置规则。
The mobility patterns of teachers in one large urban school district are examined for the period from 1965 to 1974, using logit analysis. We find that teacher seniority and changes in student enrollments are much more important in explaining transfers and terminations in the 1970s than in the 1960s. The reason for this is that pattern of mobility no longer reflect primarily teacher preferences. Increasingly, they reflect the pattern of declining enrollments and the operation of rules that govern the disposition of surplus teachers. This change has affected the careers of teachers, the learning of children, and the fiscal stability of school districts.
