About the Teacher Shortage

About the Teacher Shortage…..

The teacher shortage is nothing new.  There have been articles proclaiming it as a near “crisis” for decades.  But, the numbers leaving are growing, and since the pandemic, more teachers are leaving due to burnout among other reasons.   

 

This week I talk about many of the reasons teachers are leaving as well as why there is a declining enrollment in teacher education programs - why would anyone want to be a teacher?  

A Great Question! 

 

While there are altruistic reasons there are obstacles in the way that work as great erasers for the satisfaction and desire to work with our students and engulf ourselves in dedication to our work.  

 

As you listen I hope you are able to begin constructing some options or some ideas that you can share with others in order to bring back the dignity, strength, and joy of teaching to the community as well as to your students.    

 

Below are many of the resources I used for this episode.  

 

Take care -
