In this presentation Rebecca Allen will use the School Workforce Census to explore the decisions of teachers to moves schools, gain promotion or to leave the profession altogether. Differences in employment outcomes for teachers vary systematically by the teacher’s own characteristics, by the nature of the school and by local labour market conditions. She will talk about the possibilities of using this type of analysis to improve decisions we make about where to train teachers, how much to pay them and how to support career breaks and flexible working patterns.
