[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was wondering how well MCPS was negotiating the teacher shortage.

How many teachers are quitting at your school this year?

What are the qualifications of your student's teachers?

The same people that they replaced. People quit. [b]New teachers are hired.[/b] It happens. [/quote]

Towson University interns are at my school every year in Baltimore City. Every year, we have fewer and fewer interns. This year has been the lowest number of interns in 10+ yrs. Soon we will have mostly alternative certification teachers who basically can teach with zero experience. A recipe for disaster.[/quote]

And that’s a corporate teacher factory like teach for America [/quote]

Speaking of Teach for America: 
“Facing a sharp drop in applications, Teach For America is expecting its smallest crop of first-year teachers in at least 15 years, new data from the organization shows. The organization expects to place just under 2,000 teachers in schools across the country this coming fall. That’s just two-thirds of the number of first-year teachers TFA placed in schools in fall 2019, and just one-third of the number it sent into the field at its height in 2013.”
