“Them that’s got shall get”: Re-imaging teacher recruitment, induction, and retention

This chapter examines teacher recruitment, induction, and retention policies. Recruitment faces distribution challenges, while induction programs vary in purpose, actors, and content. Retention is affected by factors like salaries and working conditions. These policies are shaped by conceptions of teaching as professional work, labor, or vocation, and exist within a larger policy landscape.
