Resumen
This paper investigates reasons behind urban math teachers’ job satisfaction and longevity, and examines if there are differences by teachers’ race. The study site is a Title I urban public high school with many math teachers of color with long tenures at the school. Teachers of color are more likely than white teachers to remain in “hard to staff ” urban schools. Therefore, retention of math teachers of color in urban schools may serve as a strategy to resolve math teacher shortages. Findings suggest the importance of administrative support for math teacher retention especially in urban schools. In addition, participants find deep meaning teaching in an urban school they say they would not experience teaching in a suburban school. Trends by teachers’ race and suggestions for urban math teacher retention are discussed.
