16.039 - Teacher Shortages, Fact or Fiction? New Perspectives on Tracking Trends in the Teacher Workforce
Thu, April 27, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Grand Hyatt San Antonio, Floor: Second Floor, Lone Star Ballroom Salon ASession Type: Symposium
Abstract
The study of teacher shortages is a growing field of research, driven in part by public discourse and local and state needs. This symposium frames the current debates in a historical and conceptual framework and draws on empirical evidence to inform policy discussions. A national teacher shortage impacts states, subject areas, underserved students, and teachers of color to varying degrees and through different pathways. Greater focus on teacher shortages brings clarity to public discourse, highlights advancements and challenges to research methodology, and promotes intentional policymaking to influence teacher supply and demand.
