This mixed-methods study provides a detailed picture of how different districts support early-career teachers in a state with an underdefined policy. It reveals significant variation in the support experienced by early-career teachers, with mentorship and perceptions of professional development positively influencing teacher satisfaction and commitment. Other organizational factors also impact the experiences and outcomes of early-career teachers.
In this mixed-methods study, I provide a rich and nuanced picture of how different districts across one state with an underdefined support policy strive to support early-career teachers, and then assess the relationships between these experiences and teachers' own reported satisfaction and commitment to the teaching profession. I find substantial variation in the support experienced by early-career teachers. I also find that mentorship, both formal and informal, and perceptions of professional development are positively associated with satisfaction and commitment. Other contextual organizational factors also play a role in early-career teachers' experiences and outcomes. (C) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
