| NOTE: Stayers are teachers who were teaching in the same school in the current school year as in the base year (2003–04). Movers are teachers who were still teaching in the current school year but had moved to a different school after the base year. Leavers are teachers who left the teaching profession after the base year. Respondents were asked about the extent of their agreement with various statements about their base year school and current school. Response choices were based on a 4-point scale, and included the following: "Strongly agree," "Somewhat agree," "Somewhat disagree," and "Strongly disagree." | |||||||
