Teacher Shortages Improve, But Not Everywhere

Dan Goldhaber quotes in Lexi Lonas’ article about teacher shortages, including the kicker

“And so, a lot of the stories about teacher shortages tend to be pretty generic and say the teacher shortage without the nuance that it’s always been much harder to staff special education and STEM classrooms than elementary ed classrooms. It’s always much more challenging to hire teachers into high-poverty schools. So I think that those challenges, those sort of more specific challenges are likely to continue even when there’s not a big focus on the teacher market overall,” Goldhaber added.
