Abstract

The purpose of this research was to examine what factors predict teacher retention in MontanaÆs rural elementary schools. Montana has a higher percentage of small rural school districts than any other state in the nation (Johnson, Showalter, Klein, & Lester, 2014), and the Montana Legislature has been at a disadvantage by having insufficient information with respect to retaining teachers in Montana's rural elementary schools (Access, 2008).
