Deciding to Stay or Go: Making a Difference Matters
U College of Education Releases Report

As it turns out, teachers report that making a difference in the lives of children and young adults, and contributing to the greater social good are among the top factors in their decisions to remain a teacher. The convenience of the work schedule doesn’t hurt either.
