Abstract: This paper presents an argument for an integrated approach to attracting and retaining rural and remoteteachers. It describes existing government funded research and state government policies in this domain. Itbuilds upon existing sociological models to propose a model of the factors influencing teacher decisions toteach in a rural location and to stay in a location. Based upon this model and the background literature thepaper proposes that policy ought to be directed towards addressing both internal and external influences uponteacher behaviours in an integrated way.
