Overview of Series
As part of the Institute for Democracy, Education and Access’s commitment to making education research accessible to policy makers, educators, and the community, we are releasing interim results from our longitudinal study of urban educators. The papers in this series reflect the on-going work of researchers studying the career pathways of educators who received specialized urban teacher preparation through UCLA’s Center X Teacher Education Program (TEP). This longitudinal study extends from 2000 to 2006, adding a new TEP cohort each year, to track more than a thousand urban educators in their first through tenth year of the profession. Together, papers in the Retention Report/Careers in Motion series seek to inform teacher retention policy by addressing the unique challenge of creating and supporting career pathways in education that benefit high poverty schools and students.

To date, the Retention Report/Careers in Motion Series includes two sets of papers: a reprint series and a working paper series.
