  2. Presentation content • The demography of Elementary/Secondary Educational Staff in Canada’s Schools - Supply and Demand Model - Supply Factors - Demand Factors - Preliminary Results - Future Issues Centre for Education Statistics, Elementary-Secondary Section

  3. Simple model of teacher supply and demand • Similar to the Cohort Component Method • The model takes the population distributed by age at a base date and carries it forward in time, cohort by cohort, on the basis of separate allowances for attrition.

  4. Simple model of teacher supply and demand • supply = current complement of teachers + graduates - retirements + net migration • demand = school-aged population x participation rate / pupil-educator ratio • supply - demand = surplus or shortage Centre for Education Statistics, Elementary-Secondary Section

  5. Supply factors • Current complement of teachers • Existing teaching staff • full-time public elementary-secondary educators* • Entries to profession • Teacher education graduates* • Qualified new immigrants • Career changes (other qualified people) • Reentrants • Departures from profession • Attrition: • retirements*, emigration*, career changes • disability/deaths, leave and resignation • Termination • Policy (I.e. retirement benefit levels) Centre for Education Statistics, Elementary-Secondary Section

  16. A work in progress • Other components of supply and demand that could eventually be incorporated: • School level • Subject taught • Educators by staff position • Gender • Public vs. private sector • Rural area vs. urban area • Large schools vs. small schools • Micro data simulation model • Input welcome Centre for Education Statistics, Elementary-Secondary Section

  18. Cohort-Component Method: • A population forecast is a projection in which the assumptions are considered to yield a realistic picture of the probable future development of a population. Although the projection period is variable, short term forecasts are the rule, as the margin of error to which forecasts are subject increases considerably as the length of the forecast's period increases. The most frequently used method of projection is the component method or cohort-component method which takes the population distributed by age and sex at a base date and carries it forward in time, cohort by cohort, on the basis of separate allowances for fertility, mortality and migration. When matrix algebra is used for component projections, the method is sometimes called matrix method of projection. • Sabbatical Leave: • is an authorized period of leave without pay, but with an allowance in lieu of salary, for a specified duration (normally twelve (12) months or less) during which time eligible UTs, while remaining employees, shall be relieved of their normal teaching and administrative obligations as a means of providing them with an opportunity to pursue research or other scholarly activities thereby improving their knowledge of a particular discipline and enhancing their professional competence.
