Tina take note:[Fwd: The California Teacher Shortage - Recruitment or Retention Crisis?]



Mark Shapiro wrote:

Dear Irascible Professor Readers: It has been estimated that
California will need to hire approximately 25,000
new K-12 teachers per year for the next decade to meet its public
school
needs. Currently, the state's colleges and universities produce about

19,500 newly credentialed teachers each year. The Irascible Professor
takes
a sharp look at proposals to increase the production of new teachers
in
light of the abysmal retention rate for new teachers. You can find
this
article at:

Although the article focuses on the situation in California, our
conclusions
may be applicable to teacher shortages elsewhere in the country.

Sincerely,
