Equalizing educational opportunities: Who teaches and where they choose to teach
The project seeks to investigate the key determinants of entry into the teaching profession, and the subsequent sorting of new teachers across different kinds of schools. Of particular interest is the relative importance of teacher salaries, alternative job opportunities, and non-pecuniary job attributes or working conditions at every stage of this decision process. Tests will also be performed to see if the relative importance of these factors varies across the quality distribution of college graduates from the Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study.
