“Sell” Your District -- Do quick introductions at your table. Imagine that the people at your table are future teachers in your school district. In Groups of 3, each of you takes 1 minute to “sell” your district to the 2 other people in your group. Now, provide feedback to your partners one at a time. What “sold” you? Select one person who will do the “sell” job to the whole group. We will select a few! “I can “sell” my district in one minute! Urban Schools Human Capital Academy April 2014

The “Voices” of the Principal and HR What happens when they don’t agree? Do you remember our HR Partner Case Study? Urban Schools Human Capital Academy April 2014
New Teacher Landscape Landscape Today Expected Landscape • Evidence that academic quality of new teacher candidates is improving, based on SAT scores.* • STEM remains the most critical shortage area for new teachers, despite more pay incentives. * • Oversupply of elementary teachers – excess ranges from 106% (Col.) to 930% (Ill.), although reports of drop in enrollment of elementary educators.** • Diversity – Minority teachers represent just 14.6 % of teaching force. There has been significant growth in recent years, but turnover rates are high.*** • USDOE projects 28% increase in new teachers hired between 2010 and 2021 (~384,000) • Common Core driving changes for teachers • However, blended learning and other tech progress may reduce the number of educators needed, particularly in shortage areas. *Goldhaber and Walch, Academic Capabilities of U.S. Teaching Force on the Rise, Education Next, 2014. ** Sawchuk, Education Week, January 2013. *** Center for American Progress, Increasing Teacher Diversity, November 2011.
