  5. Teacher Shortage

  6. Teacher Shortage, Federally Defined By the Federal definition, shortage is identified as a lack of full certification, or in Georgia terminology Clear Renewable certification. The Federal definition is more stringent than the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) “Not Highly Qualified” or the more commonly used “Out-of-Field” definitions in which a teacher has no certification for the field being taught. Produced for the 2007-2008 school year by GPSC for Federal reporting of teacher shortage from GADOE CPI08-1 and GPSC certification data. © 2008 GPSC

  29. Introduction • Georgia is the third fastest growing state in the nation • Four years of mathematics and science are now a requirement for graduation • A more rigorous and integrated secondary curriculum has been implemented • Current production of mathematics teachers falls short of both current and future needs • The requirement for four years of sciences will increase demand for specific certifications • Only three physics teachers were produced last year • Georgia students must have available high-level science and mathematics courses in order to compete nationally and internationally
