Abstract

Although North American universities are preparing more teachers than ever, attrition remains high in the first five years after certification, particularly in high demand subjects, in rural areas and among marginalized populations. Despite robust scholarship, historians have not contributed to the discussion. This paper examines the initiative known as “Future Teachers Clubs” (FTCs) using historical and contemporary perspectives. We explore the origins and evolution of FTCs. We outline their decline as well as where and why they have remained an important force in teacher induction. Finally, we discuss the possibilities they hold for slowing early career attrition.
