[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More money would definitely prevent teachers from quitting, but I am not sure it would attract enough new teachers. Gen Z is more focused on quality of life and work/life balance in addition to enough money to pay for college loans. I am not sure teaching is a career that enough young people will aspire too. -a teacher of 20 years[/quote] Agreed. More money is probably necessary, particularly bumping starting wages, but certainly isn’t sufficient. Though, we could use different pay scales as a way to encourage more people already interested in education to go into critical shortage areas, like Special Education. The work-life balance issue seems to be the big problem that needs to be addressed. At elementary, co-teaching really looks like a good option, accepting it will come at significant cost. And at higher levels, cutting back on the number of classes each teacher has to increase prep time.[/quote]
