N2 - Teacher retention has been a continuous challenge in the U.S. In this paper, we compared 84 Master Teaching Fellows (MTFs) and 83 non-MTFs in their self-efficacy, leadership skills, school-work environment, diversity dispositions, and professional network size. Using multinomial logistic regression, we also explored if these factors related to their retention. Results indicate that MTFs: (1) have higher levels of self-efficacy and diversity dispositions, and larger leadership networks; and (2) are more likely to shift to leadership positions. Findings provide insights for developing teacher leadership programs.
