Teachers and Leaders Turnover and Supply 

This study will examine educators’ perceptions regarding the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, sources of strain and support in their current positions, and broad patterns of educator certification, shortage, and mobility. It will take a mixed methods approach, including surveys, interviews with teachers and administrators and quantitative analyses of certification, shortage, and turnover data. In all analyses, we will pay special attention to the populations affected disproportionately by the pandemic, as specified by CSDE’s “Commitment to Equity.”
