Leveraging Teacher Supply and Demand Data to Address Staffing Challenges

To design effective teacher policies that address complex staffing challenges, states need answers to fundamental questions about teacher supply and demand.

• Who's entering the teacher pipeline?
• Who gets hired and where?
• How effective are they and do they stay in the profession?
• What subjects and schools have the greatest staffing challenges?
• How effective are policy interventions to address staffing challenges?

But too often, traditional data systems don't provide the information states need. This one-pager explores how new approaches to measuring teacher supply and demand data can help fill these gaps.
