One of the largest school districts in Mississippi is losing more than 200 teachers over the summer because they did not fulfill the requirements of an alternative license program — a route to qualification many states and schools have turned to as the country faces a major teacher shortage.
Key Elementary School third grade teacher April Tate, right, leads the class in a reading exercise on April 18, 2019, in Jackson, Mississippi.It comes as numerous states are re-examining how they license teachers as a means to fill vacant positions. Experts agree that these alternate licenses are not a solution, but a Band-Aid for school districts that are overwhelmed by the number of vacant or emptying teaching positions. The best solution is to address teacher pay and district support systems for educators, they said.
“I personally went twice this school year and stood before the entire auditorium full of these teachers and shared the requirements for year one, the requirements for year two, and for those for year three,” Cory Murphy, the executive director of teaching and leading at the agency, said. “We shared information of what it takes to gain entrance to our teacher education programs. We answered any specific questions. That happened in the fall and spring of this current school year.
