  12. Current Supply/Demand Status • *Based on the 2018 AAAE National Supply and Demand Study • 9,071 agricultural education programs • 13,827 agriculture teachers • 1,027 openings due to retirement, teacher loss and growth • 223 retirements • 247 new positions added • 88 programs closed due to lack of a qualified teacher • 464 positions filled with an alternatively certified or non-licensed teacher • 61 full-timepositions went unfilled • 873 new licensed ag ed graduates • 654 accepted agriculture teacher positions • 41,610= total students impact due to teacher shortage • Based on 650,000 FFA membership (actual number is likely higher because not all ag students are FFA members)

  13. What’s Causing the Shortage? • Retirement24.8 % • Employed in business/industry 18.2% • Not offered a contract/terminated 10.1% • Employed in another content area (outside of ag ed) 8.3% • Employed in school administration 7.9% • Stay at home parent/caregiver 6.9% • Moved out of state (but still teaching agriculture) 3.6% • Continuing education/grad school 1.9% • Employed in production agriculture/farming 3.3% • Employed in postsecondary education 2.1% • Health 1.8% • Employed in adult education/FBM 0.2% *Data based upon National Agricultural Education Supply & Demand Study 2018 Executive Summary by Daniel D. Foster, Rebecca G. Lawver, Amy R. Smith

  14. Effects of the Shortage • Ag Education Programs closing/not operating • School districts hiring teachers who are not qualified to teach agriculture. • Agricultural Education being offered in other content areas without the Experiential Learning/Leadership Development components • School districts reluctant to open new programs • Increased pressure/burden on current teachers

  15. Why Does this Matter? • Agriculture teachers must pass a rigorous certification process. They are specially trained to implement the three circle agricultural education model. • Agriculture teachers provide vocational training for students and community members. • Agriculture teachers are in the unique position of equipping students of all levels and abilities with life long employability skills through hands-on lessons and real life experiences. • To grow FFA chapters we need more agricultural education programs. We can’t open new programs or expand current programs without an increased supply of agriculture teachers.

  16. What is the National Teach Ag Campaign Doing to Address the Shortage? • Teach Ag Website • National Teach Ag Day (9.19.2019) • Targeted contacts • State Teach Ag Results (STAR) Program • Event Representation • Teach Ag Ambassadors • Data collection and distribution • Teach Ag Advisory Board • Resource creation and availability • Promotional materials and alerts

  17. Universal Practices that Show Promise • Student teaching scholarships • Mentoring • From high school to first year teacher • Make the aged major THE place to be. • Networking experiences/travel experiences around the state and country for Ag Ed majors. • Parental engagement • Work/life balance emphasis for current teachers • I love my job narrative • Early and often contact with potential candidates

  18. Questions the NTAC Asks Every Day: • Is this connected to the mission? • Is this practice sustainable? • Is it effective? • Is it the right time? • Do we have the time, talent and resources to make it happen in a quality way? • What will have the greatest impact? • Where are the drop off points? • Is that an area we have a reasonable amount of influence over? • Who needs to be involved? • What/Who are we missing? • Is this a meaningful resource? • Does this help the local agriculture teacher/state staff?
