Abstract
This article examines the position of charter schools in prospective elementary teachers' job search decisions. Using a labor market segmentation framework, it explores teacher applicants' decisions to apply to charter schools. The data come from a mixed-methods longitudinal study of prospective teachers looking for their first job. This article finds moderate support that the labor market is segmented between charter and traditional public schools. The school's institutional status and applicants' lack of familiarity with charter schools were related to their disinclination to apply to charter schools.
