Typescript.



Teacher retention is a problem in today's schools. The question addressed in this blended quantitative and qualitative study conducted in evangelical Christian schools was, what factors most significantly predict the retention of Christian school teachers on linear combinations of 40 predictor retention factor variables? Based upon the findings, the author suggested several implementation strategies for Christian school administrators related to (a) initial hiring, (b) professional development, (c) teaching from a Christian perspective, (d) administrative support, (3) expressions of value and respect, (f) teacher pay and benefits, (g) professional learning committees.
