| Summary: | There has been an ongoing dialogue among education stakeholders across the nation about impending teacher shortages, and individual states have been grappling with how to properly detect and deal with potential gaps. But are there really shortages? If so, in what regions of the country or in states and to what degree of severity? What type of schools, subject matter areas, or socioeconomic characteristics are more prone to face shortages? Is this an emerging problem, a persistent problem in certain schools, or both? Do states have an adequate pipeline of teachers in preparation programs to meet future demand? The Rockefeller Institute of Government, the public policy think tank of the State University of New York, is analyzing data and trends in states across the nation to provide clarity and objective data to determine whether states are facing teaching shortages and the characteristics of any gaps. The Rockefeller Institute found a complicated and diverse picture of gaps in teacher supply and demand, one affected by individual circumstances that often vary by state -- and even within individual states. This report is the fourth in a series of state studies by the Rockefeller Institute of P-12 teacher demand and supply. Three prior studies analyzed teacher workforces in South Dakota (see ED605638), New York (see ED605617), and Virginia (see ED605639). [This analysis has been supported by a grant from the Council of Chief State School Officers and in partnership with the College Football Playoff Foundation's Extra Yard for Teachers Program.] |
