There are multitudes, and they differ across the country. I will add though that “high standards” in many states is as low a bar as ‘generic bachelors degree’ and/or ‘experience relevant to content area’ and the shortage persists.
- ipaddr 4y agoWhen I went to school teachers didn't need a bachelors degree they went to teacher college for a year or two. Requiring a bachelors hasn't increased educational outcomes either just added gatekeeping.
- germinalphrase 4y agoNon-public schools can, of course, hire anyone they like. In many - if not most - states, principals in public schools are empowered to hire anyone with relevant experience under emergency licensure laws. I don’t disagree with your point necessarily, but I also don’t believe it is a significant concern in most places.
