    1. the reader should understand that the resultsof this study cannot be generalized to the teacher candidate population as a whole

      The use of the word 'should' is a dark piece of diction in the education world. The public is the populace reading this article; they are the clientele in charge of voting to pass levies, voting for representatives to change the rules educators work with, and they are the ones to call the school when educators attempt to do their jobs. This word might be one of the culprits that drives the most educators from the profession when young teachers are introduced to the occupation, and the position is not what the new teacher believed it ‘should’ be.

    2. The literature on teacher education has focused on novice teachers who leavethe profession, which has substantially contributed to our understanding ofimportant variables related to teacher retention.

      Taking the time to examine why young teachers are no longer teachers should be the focus of all final semesters, in my opinion. Granted, institutions are tasked with producing educators, but to address the nationwide shortage, those same institutions have the obligation to shift their focus to developing teachers with longevity.

    3. The studiespresented in this review also point to self-efficacy and reflection as two importantcomponents related to teacher retention, persistence, and resiliency

      With teaching experience as a guide, this is absolutely true, but there is so much more to it. It is the extra things that those two actions force you to do as an educator that help teachers stay teachers.

    4. Studies on teacher retention demonstrate that some teachers are both resilientand persistent, remaining in the profession despite being confronted with the samechallenges and obstacles of those who leave

      The problem with being resilient and persistent is that burnout is far more prevalent in our world. You cannot light yourself on fire to keep others warm and survive to tell about it, or even better, keep doing it.

      When writing it is important to follow these steps to make the best form of your essay. Following these steps can help you be organized and lay out your thoughts so it can make since when you write the final product.

    1. When appropriate, use graphics in place of text. For instance, rather than describing a display screen, include a screen shot.
