The purpose of this study was to examine a range of factors that may affect string music teachers' decisions to remain in the profession, migrate to a related position, or leave. Specific research questions were: What proportion of string music teachers are stayers, movers, or leavers? Where might string music teachers go when they decide to migrate or leave the profession? Which factors are most strongly associated with the immediate and long-term career decisions of string teachers? Based on one-year and five-year projections, to what extent can string music teachers be accurately classified as stayers, movers, or leavers? Three hundred and four randomly selected K-12 string music educators from the ASTA membership completed a 44-item questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were computed for all variables and factor analysis was used to reduce data and explore the underlying structure of factors impacting career decisions. Discriminant analysis was used to distinguish between stayers, migrators, and leavers. Most participants planned to remain in the same position in one year. One half of participants planned to be in the same position five years out, while remaining teachers planned to migrate or leave teaching. Migrating participants most commonly planned to move to another K-12 teaching position in the same or another district. Few planned to leave teaching temporarily or transition to other education related fields. The majority of participants leaving cited retirement as the reason. Factors found to be significantly associated with the immediate career decisions of string music educators included work culture, subject importance, student characteristics, position characteristics, and teacher socio-economic background. Work culture, subject importance, student characteristics, and position characteristics were also significantly associated with long-term career plans. In addition, professional relationships, number of children, teaching experience, receiving an award or recognition, mentor program participation, and marital status were significantly associated with long-term career plans. Stayers were the only group adequately classified. Migrators/leavers were classified at or below the level of chance. Two meta-variables best predict group membership in long-term career plans of string music educators: personal teacher characteristics (PTC) and professional work life (PWL). Implications and recommendations for further research are provided.
