Abstract
Social conditions in school can influence teacher turnover. In this study, we use longitudinal data from 47 general and special education teachers in the same mind sized District in the Midwestern United States and employ survival analysis to identify the social conditions that the predicted turnover in teachers first five years on the job. Findings reveal that the quality of the teacher's relationships mattered more than the quality of their social ties. Specifically, teachers reporting higher levels of relational trust were significantly less likely to leave or move, while social network closeness did not significantly predict leaving or moving. Further, our finding that social education teachers were particularly susceptible to leaving or moving compared to their general education colleagues.
