  • To Leave Or Not to Leave: a Population Study Investigating How Compensation and Auxiliary Spending Influence Teacher Turnover in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
    TO LEAVE OR NOT TO LEAVE: A POPULATION STUDY INVESTIGATING HOW COMPENSATION AND AUXILIARY SPENDING INFLUENCE TEACHER TURNOVER IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA A Dissertation Submitted to The Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY URBAN EDUCATION by Ethan S. Ake-Little May 2019 Examining Committee Members: Will Jordan, Ph.D., Advisory Chair, Urban Education Christopher McGinley, Ed.D., School Leadership Joshua Klugman, Ph.D., Sociology Douglas Webber, Ph.D., External Member, Economics ii © Copyright MMXIX by Ethan S. Ake-Little All Rights Reserved. iii ABSTRACT Teacher turnover is a well-studied phenomenon, particularly in highly urbanized locales, but not well researched in a state as geographically and demographically diverse as Pennsylvania, which is a composition of two major metropolitan areas combined with smaller urban centers and expansive rural regions. Those retention studies that do exist have been mainly exclusive to the Philadelphia region, with limited research devoted to the remainder of the state. This lack of a comprehensive empirical approach that compares turnover in three distinct settings limits a nuanced understanding of the issue and, in turn, can lead to incomplete policy considerations. This study utilizes Pennsylvania Department of Education data from 2012-2017, which describes the entire public-school workforce in all local education agencies (LEAs), to study how compensation and auxiliary spending (per student spending sans instructional costs) influence teacher turnover using multiple, parallel Cox Proportional Hazards survival models. Findings suggest that despite a “one size fits all” approach to public school funding policy popular amongst politicians on both sides of the political aisle, the effects of a monetary increase in reducing the likelihood of turnover varies considerably when accounting for the region, Title I status, experience and subject matter.

  • I a GENTRIFYING URBAN VILLAGE: the ROLE of CHURCH, MONEY
    A GENTRIFYING URBAN VILLAGE: THE ROLE OF CHURCH, MONEY, AND IDENTITY IN A PHILADELPHIA NEIGHBORHOOD A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Keith W. McIntosh May 2021 Examining Committee Members: Dustin Kidd, Ph.D., Advisory Chair, Sociology Judith Levine, Ph.D., Sociology Geoffrey Moss, Ph.D., Sociology Bryant Simon, Ph.D., Outside Examiner, History i ABSTRACT The great economic forces that built American industrial cities also quickly left them abandoned. Scholars have written extensively on the social consequences of deindustrialization. Today, however, a new period of economic growth has again changed cities. A process of redevelopment, commonly referred to as gentrification, has changed the character of former industrial cities, producing an array of new civic tensions. The new people entering cities come for job opportunities in growing economic sectors (e.g., tech, finance, and creative industries) that tend to require higher levels of education. While these sectors grow, traditional working-class jobs continue to dwindle in number and pay. This creates a polarizing force inside cities. While social polarization is often discussed as an abstract macro-level phenomenon, even abstract forces must manifest in specific places. The gentrifying neighborhood is one such place. Inside gentrifying neighborhoods, residents must contend with new people amidst profound change. My research addresses this change. It seeks to better understand what holds modern communities together (or fails to) especially as the fates of residents diverge. Gentrification provides the social context for this research, but the focus is on a specific neighborhood-level institution: the local church.
