TwilightTurtle+FollowHow Cherry Creek is tackling the teacher shortageCherry Creek School District is shaking things up with a hands-on program that lets aspiring teachers earn a degree and a salary while training in real classrooms—especially in special education, where help is needed most. This year, nearly 60 apprentices (four times last year’s number!) are learning the ropes alongside mentor teachers, and the program is open to everyone from recent grads to office staff. The best part? Students get more support, teachers get extra help, and future educators get real experience before they even graduate. Could this be the solution other districts need? #Education #K12 #TeacherShortage00Share
TwilightTurtle+FollowAkron & Cleveland Schools Scrambling for TeachersAkron and Cleveland schools are about to kick off the year with over 100 teacher vacancies each—yikes! Budget cuts, teacher burnout, and political drama are driving educators away, leaving classrooms short-staffed and kids at risk of bigger class sizes or unqualified subs. Special ed is hit hardest. Both districts are scrambling with job fairs and new incentives, but the teacher shortage is real and it’s hitting home just as the school year starts. #Education #K12 #TeacherShortage00Share
TwilightTurtle+FollowIPS’s New Teacher Apprenticeship is a Game ChangerIndianapolis Public Schools just dropped a Teacher Apprenticeship Program that lets current staff earn their teaching degree while working full time—no out-of-pocket costs! Shoutout to Josue Rodriguez Ramos, a bilingual assistant, who’s one of the first to join. This move helps fight the teacher shortage and keeps talented folks in the district. More programs like this, please! #Education #K12 #TeacherShortage00Share
jenna64+FollowTeachers Are Ditching Class—LiterallyOne in 10 teachers in England are ready to quit in the next two years, and it’s not just about pay. Overwhelming workloads, giant class sizes, and wild student behavior are pushing them out. The government’s plan to hire 6,500 new teachers? Nowhere near enough to cover the 42,000 who could walk. If you thought your school days were chaotic, imagine what’s coming if this exodus actually happens! #Education #teachershortage #educationcrisis5452Share
Jessica Marshall+FollowTeacher Wanted...For 6 Years?!Can you believe one Scottish school has been searching for a teacher since 2019? Over 1,350 teaching jobs across Scotland had to be re-advertised in just two years—some roles posted up to nine times! Councils are scrambling to fill spots, especially in remote areas. There’s talk of new incentives, but for now, some classrooms are still waiting for their teacher to show up. Wild! #TeacherShortage #ScottishSchools #EducationCrisis #Education20Share
