Teachers
in early childhood education (ECE) settings are central to providing children
with high-quality experiences that promote both early development and long-term
wellbeing; unfortunately, rates of teacher turnover are high in ECE settings.
There are strong theoretical reasons to assume turnover is negatively linked
with children’s academic and socio-emotional development, but few empirical
studies test this hypothesis. Using an econometric fixed effects approach in
two waves of data from the nationally-representative Head Start Family and Child
Experiences Survey, this study provides the first national estimate of the
relationship between within-year lead teacher turnover and children’s
development in Head Start. I find an annual within-year turnover rate of ~9%, about
twice that of K-12, and that turnover is negatively associated with children’s language
outcomes alongside suggestive evidence for behavioral outcomes.
