Abstract:	This study explored the job satisfaction, professional identities, and turnover intentions of school-based agricultural education (SBAE) teachers by certification type. Additionally, this study aimed to explain the impact of job satisfaction and professional identity on the turnover intentions of SBAE teachers. A series of survey questions were used to describe the sample of SBAE teachers, their job satisfaction, professional identity, and turnover intentions. Notably, regardless of certification type, participants displayed comparable levels of job satisfaction and positive professional identities. Moreover, despite the certification differences, both groups of teachers exhibited moderately low turnover intentions. Lastly, the statistical analysis addressing the impact of job satisfaction and professional identity on the turnover intentions of SBAE teachers yielded statistically significant results, suggesting that both variables positively influence the turnover intentions of SBAE teachers.
