I chose mixed methods because it lets me measure the strength of relationships between leadership and teacher outcomes while also capturing teachers’ voices to explain why those patterns exist. This research approach gives a more complete picture of this aspect of being a teacher. #CHOICEstudy7130

Research question: How do leadership practices relate to teachers’ morale and retention, and how do teachers explain the experiences behind those relationships? #CHOICEstudy7130
