A qualitative study using narrative analysis on special program teacher turnover with a focus on the needs of the lateral entry teacher. Both traditionally and lateral entry teachers from four pathways: exiters, switch schools, stay at the same school, and switch into regular education, were interviewed for a total of eight interview participants. Their responses were transcribed and coded in Atlas Ti. The researcher used narrative analysis to look for common themes or âstoriesâ among the participants. The common themes included a description of the job itself and stressors, a description of preparation for the job and personal attributes needed for the job, and support desired from the principal.
