Abstract:

Carolina is experiencing a teacher shortage. One estimate is that the state will need to hire 12,000 teachers a year over the next decade. One approach to dealing with the shortage is NC TEACH, a statewide licensure program designed to recruit, prepare, and support mid-career professionals for a teaching career in the state. Mebane discusses the program and why professionals like chemists, accountants, and lawyers are attracted to it.
