Finishing proposal

My proposal is coming together nicely and I have finished summarizing all articles. I found out a bunch of information about teacher retention that relates to student achievement. However the internal workings of a charter school and its effect on achievement remains elusive. I found that teacher retention has a lot to do with organizational factors within a particular school. Charter schools are all organized differently so it makes a direct comparison between schools difficult. I was able to determine that low teacher retention has a disruptive effect on the school as a whole. This phenomenon is seen in both charter and traditional public schools, so high levels of turnover seen in the charter sector may account for inconsistent achievement gains compared to public schools.
