Featured Presentation: Addressing
the Teacher Shortage - Combing Strategies for Recruitment, Attrition, and
Retention
Securing teacher employment amidst a
profession plagued with candidate shortages threatens the stability and the
expected deliveries of the education system. Confronted with this state and
national challenge, district ingenuity has enabled some degree of coverage.
Despite ingenuity, the depth of the shortage has proven formidable and evoked a
research-based exploration of the causes along with potential sources of relief
for impacted school districts. Featured presenter, Dr. James Rosborg (Professor
of Education, McKendree University) has researched this issue since 2014. He
will share the circumstances and dynamics of the existing teacher shortage,
along with the current problem of teacher retention and attrition, while
expounding on options districts may explore to overcome this shortage.
Following the presentation, a question-answer period between the presenter and
attendees will occur (as time permits).
