This document provides an overview of a research project that explored the following topics: the prevalence of seven distinct types of teacher victimization and its negative impacts; whether experiences of teacher victimization, the schools’ responses, and/or school safety issues are related to former teachers’ decisions to leave their careers; and school policies on violence against teachers, and whether prevention or intervention programs have been implemented in order to address the victimization.
This report summarizes a research project on violence against teachers in the 50 largest school districts in the U.S. The report discusses the project’s main goals and objectives; research design and methodology, including data collection and sample; and research findings. It also examines school policies, and notes some conclusions and implications for practice. The results section explores the prevalence of seven distinct types of victimization that occurred during Waves I and II of the research project, along with negative impacts on victimized teachers, such as emotional distress and distrust of students. The report also examines how school administrators respond to incidents of teacher victimization and the satisfaction or dissatisfaction of victimized teachers regarding the school responses. The Appendix documents include four manuscripts that have either been accepted or are under review for publication in academic journals, providing detailed examinations of the primary goals and key findings of the research.
