Abstract
Researchers, policy makers, and university faculty continue to debate reasons for teacher attrition. By looking at dispositions and teachers' feelings of efficacy, insight can be gained into the teacher shortage issue. This article uses survey data from novice teachers to make recommendations for teacher preparation programs and supervising administrators.

Teacher efficacy is shown as a major factor in teacher retention and satisfaction.
