| Summary: | In this qualitative, basic inductive study the varied opinions and viewpoints reported by tenured teachers pertaining to current tenure practices utilized in K-12 education are investigated and documented. Given that an in-depth qualitative view of teacher perceptions are not well represented in the current literature, this study queried five teachers through a series of interviews to bring the teacher's voice into the discussion about current K-12 tenure practices. The
study investigates the participants' views on the benefits and drawbacks of teacher tenure based on their first-hand experiences. Additionally, the participants share their interpretations and opinions on current national tenure reform initiatives. |
