School Staffing Challenges Through the Pandemic
Sat, April 13, 3:05 to 4:35pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 118ASession Type: Symposium
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has increased concerns that schools may struggle to be adequately staffed. However, evidence about the actual challenges faced by schools now and how they have evolved recently is scant, as is evidence about what drives or might mitigate staff shortages. This symposium includes four papers addressing these issues using a range of methods and in diverse contexts. They include detailed analyses of existing school staffing challenges as well as novel evidence about what drives those challenges and how they might be addressed in the future. The session includes ample time for discussion on these topics, which we expect to be of substantial interest to both academics and practitioners attending the conference.
