Funded Activity Summary

Early career teachers' personal wellbeing and professional commitment. Australia is facing retention difficulties in the teaching profession which will increase staffing and financial burdens on the educational and wider community. This project will document the experiences of early career teachers with a view to establishing levels of personal wellbeing and professional engagement and commitment. It is expected that the study will show that low levels of wellbeing and school climate factors are major contributors to the loss of early career teachers. This evidence will be invaluable to government and educational policymakers keen to sustain early career teachers' wellbeing and best support them to reduce attrition from the profession.
