There’s an alarming number of educators leaving the teaching profession and fewer people entering teacher certification programs. We need to do everything we can to support teachers to make the profession less stressful and give them the compensation they deserve. We can do this by giving teachers more prep time, offering bonuses for educators who stay in the district, providing health insurance benefits to all full-time substitute teachers, and reducing class sizes. We also need to speed up the hiring process to make sure we’re not losing educators to other districts.
