Coefplot showing results from regression models predicting (intent to) turn over as a function of improvement goal buy-in, climate, and leadership. Both individual-level and jackknife/leave-one-out/peer measures show that all three measures are associated with reduced probability of (intent to) turn over.

Coefplot from regression models predicting leaving (for any pathway out, to transfer, and to leave MI education in three different panels, respectively) as a function of intent to do so 1, 2, and 3 years out. Models show increasing coefficient estimates over time on leaving for any pathway out and transfers, and consistently significant/positive estimates for leaving MI education.

Scatterplots of school rating percentiles in year t and t+1 using different weights on growth vs. proficiency and using 1 vs. 3 years of data to generate percentiles. Shows that year-to-year correlations are stronger for proficiency, as expected, but the school rating that weights growth more heavily and uses 3 years of data is as stable as the rating that weights proficiency more heavily using 1 year of data.
