Our teacher recruitment system has been blinking red for a long time, with the past decade catapulting the United States into crisis mode. In 2016, the nonprofit Learning Policy Institute reported that teacher education enrollment dropped from 691,000 to 451,000, a 35 percent reduction, between 2009 and 2014. The U. S. Department of Education (2015) reports that a majority of states have identified teacher shortages in mathematics (47 states and the District of Columbia); special education (46 states and D.C.); science (43 states); world languages (40 states and D.C.); career and technical education (32 states); teachers of English language learners (32 states); art, music, and dance (28 states); and English (27 states).

he Teacher her Retention tention Cr Cris isis is

Given that 20 to 30 percent of all new teachers nationwide leave the field entirely within the first five years of their career, alternative certification programs and schools need to prepare with two-year staff onboarding and induction programs.

Sutcher, Darling-Hammond, & Carver-Thomas (2018)

  • However

Most school systems do not have a clearly defined value proposition that convincingly lays out the reasons—beyond money and benefits—why teaching in their district is attractive.

And

Traditionally, districts have seen preparing new teachers as someone else’s business; their job is simply to find and hire people with the right credentials…

erse se Thi his s Trend? nd?

States and school districts will need to be creative and devote more time and resources to intentional recruitment and begin the process with college first- and second-year students while they are still considering college majors. Consider creating teacher residency programs that provide apprenticeships in high-need schools under the wing of expert

  • teachers. Recruited teachers who complete their training would

be hired and paid for their training time with years of service. "Grow-your-own" programs also create a pathway for young people to stay and serve in their community's schools.

The he Reality ality

  • Two hundred thousand teachers (200,000) leave the profession each

year

  • One hundred thousand classrooms (100,000) will be staffed by an

instructor who is not fully qualified to teach in 2018-2019

  • Ninety three percent (93%) of open teaching positions are created by

teachers who leave the profession

  • Two thirds (2/3) of teachers leave for other reasons, most due to

dissatisfactions with teaching

  • There are fifty percent (50%) higher turnover rates in Title I schools,

which serve more low-income students AND

  • Seventy percent (70%) higher for teachers in schools serving the largest

concentrations of students of color Shortages also persist in specific areas: mathematics, science, special education,

Le Leader dership ship Im Impact pact

  • Leadership is second only to classroom instruction

among all school-related factors that contribute to what students learn at school.

  • Leadership effects are largest where and when they

are needed most.

  • A range of leadership patterns exists among

principals, assistant principals, and both formal and informal teacher leaders. But principals remain the central source of leadership influence.
