Abstract
The purpose of this single instrumental, qualitative case study was to explore teachers' and administrators' perceptions about teacher morale status at Urban Middle School to understand how morale may be affecting retention within the school. This study explored the experiences of 12 middle school teachers and three administrators/facilitators at an urban middle school in southeastern Pennsylvania to understand their perceptions of the sources of low teacher morale, identifying strategies to improve morale, and how low morale affects teacher retention. Data was gathered using in-depth, semi-structured interviews, including individual interviews and focus group interviews.
