    Abstract
    This study examines the causes of increased teacher turnover rates and how these rates detrimentally affect schools and student performance. In addition, this study provides recommendations for best practices in retaining teachers, especially new teachers, in the Columbus County School District. The study uses both quantitative and qualitative techniques and improvement science methodology. Current system-wide teacher turnover data, as well as surveys from principals, teachers, beginning teachers, and mentors are utilized. The scope of the study focuses on elementary, middle, and high schools in Columbus County, North Carolina. Columbus County is located in a rural region and has an increasing teacher turnover rate. Based on this study, best practices for retaining teachers are presented as a comprehensive teacher retention plan. The specific best practices include strong mentorship programs, meaningful professional development opportunities, targeted school leadership recruiting, modified teacher assignments, and critical self-reflection programs.
