Are large numbers of math and science teachers bolting from the teaching profession? A new report from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), says no.
Overall, the rate of public school mathematics and science teachers and other teachers leaving teaching employment showed no consistent trend from 1988?89 through 2004?05. Of mathematics and science leavers, there was no measurable change in the percentage of mathematics and science teachers leaving teaching employment between 1988?89 and 2004?05.
Unfortunately, the report does not disaggregate the statistics by state.
