» Barbara Pytel - Teacher shortage?

In response to Teacher shortage? posted by Lynn1969:

We seem to be seeing both in Iowa. Fewer getting their teaching degrees in shortage fields and fewer willing to work as teachers once certified. Of course, it doesn't help that we are surrounded by states that are paying teachers significantly more in addition to a sign on bonus, higher compensation for a Master's, and less paperwork/accountability. Iowa just gave the teachers the biggest raise in many years. The bad news, so did other states.
