The study, scheduled for the 2024/25 school year, will focus on understanding factors influencing the completion of traditional undergraduate teacher preparation programs. This is crucial as traditional teacher preparation programs are the main sources of new teachers, yet the number of bachelor’s degrees in education has declined by 18 percent between 2010 and 2020. This study aims to address two main research questions: (1) How do the demographic and academic characteristics of students in traditional undergraduate teacher preparation programs differ between completers and noncompleters? and (2) How do personal and contextual factors relate to students’ completion of traditional teacher preparation programs? The study will collect quantitative survey data and qualitative interview data from students who completed and did not complete traditional undergraduate teacher preparation programs, supplemented by administrative data from teacher preparation programs. This approach will allow the study to gather information on personal and contextual factors not captured in administrative data, such as the ability to complete unpaid student teaching, perceptions of the teaching profession, and other intrinsic motivations and external conditions that influence completion. The urgency to improve teacher candidate retention and graduation rates is driven by long-standing teacher shortages and a desire to increase racial/ ethnic and gender diversity in the teacher workforce to mirror the composition of K–12 students in the United States. Findings from this study aim to inform program and policy-level solutions to support teaching candidates, particularly those from diverse backgrounds, ensuring they persist through their teacher preparation programs.
