STATE ED LEADERS: MORE DATA NEEDED TO UNDERSTAND TEACHER SHORTAGES

Published Aug. 15, 2022
Anna Merod Associate Editor

Nevada’s statewide data over the last five years shows it’s difficult to retain
teachers, but it’s not clear why, because there’s no statewide exit or working
conditions survey, says Jhone Ebert, the state’s superintendent of public
instruction. Jon Cherry via Getty Images

DIVE BRIEF:

 * Heading into the 2022-23 school year, Indiana has 1,906 teacher vacancies,
   including 451 for special education, said Katie Jenner, Indiana secretary of
   education. There’s a downward trend of teachers entering the profession in
   Indiana, she said during a Wednesday webinar on teacher shortages held by the
   Education Commission of the States.
 * In Nevada, a grow-your-own program is in place in high schools for students
   beginning in their first year, said Jhone Ebert, Nevada superintendent of
   public instruction, during the webinar. She said 8,000 students are enrolled
   in the program, which qualifies as a career and technical education course.
 * Moving forward, both state education leaders agreed, significant work is
   needed to develop data about the supply and demand of educators. More teacher
   workforce data can help identify and remove barriers to recruiting and
   retaining education professionals, Ebert said.





DIVE INSIGHT:

In Nevada, Ebert said, statewide data over the last five years shows it’s been
difficult to retain teachers, but she’s not sure exactly why, because there’s no
statewide exit or working conditions survey.

Meanwhile, Indiana launched a new data system measuring educator marketplace
demand in March 2022, Jenner said. Another system measuring teacher supply is
expected to begin this fall, she said. 

“I think we were, like many states, using significant lag data to make decisions
for today,” Jenner said. 

States have varied their approaches to addressing immediate needs arising from
the nationwide teacher shortage. In March, the National Center for Education
Statistics published survey data that found 44% of public schools were affected
by full- or part-time teacher vacancies.

Both Nevada and Indiana are implementing strategies to diversify the teacher
pipeline, too. Nevada’s grow-your-own program is one way, because the diverse
student body is a great source to tap into to develop future teachers of color,
Ebert said. 

Additionally, Indiana has a public-private partnership between Ivy Tech
Community College and Marian University in Indianapolis that is targeting the
state’s five largest urban communities to develop more diverse grow-your-own
pathways, Jenner said. 

Teachers also need to be paid more, Jenner and Ebert said. Recognizing the
teacher shortage crisis, an increasing number of states have been working in the
past year to raise salaries. 

“Unless we start to acknowledge the supply, demand and how the marketplace
works, and how we must pay — our science teachers are going to continue to be
drawn by the biotech company right down the road,” Jenner said. “It is happening
on repeat, and I think we’re seeking to learn a lot from what that marketplace
shows us, and maybe again how we might lean in on significantly increasing our
teacher pay.”
