DESCRIPTION:In this presentation Rebecca Allen will use the School Workfor
 ce Census to explore the decisions of teachers to moves schools\, gain pro
 motion or to leave the profession altogether. Differences in employment ou
 tcomes for teachers vary systematically by the teacher’s own characteris
 tics\, by the nature of the school and by local labour market conditions.

 prove decisions we make about where to train teachers\, how much to pay th
 em and how to support career breaks and flexible working patterns.\n\n*Reb
