This report is designed to help educators and policymakers at the state and local levels use data to better understand teacher mobility and retention. It uses a series of examples to demonstrate three steps that need to be taken before data analysis begins: stating research questions about teacher mobility and retention, deter-mining administrative units (such as schools or districts to be analyzed and the time frame in which to do so, and creating operational definitions for the key concepts of mobility and retention.
These foundational steps precede calculations and analyses. Involving both policymakers and data analysts in these steps ensures that the most policy-relevant and technically appropriate analyses are conducted.
