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.

Abstract:
North Carolina has a teacher shortage. Contributing to this are retirements, resignations, a rapidly increasing school-age population, provisions of the federal No Child Left Behind Act that require all classroom teachers to be fully certified by the end of the 2005-06 school year, and a university system that does not graduate enough teachers to meet the state's needs. The state must hire 10,000 teachers a year; teacher college graduates in 2003 numbered 3,100, of which 2,200 were employed in North Carolina. Damico discusses the state's need to attract teachers, and then retain them; techniques used to fill teacher slots, like lateral entry and out-of-state recruitment; and ways to strengthen teacher recruitment and retention, like the N.C. Teaching Fellows Program, N.C. Teach, and Troops to Teachers.

Abstract:
Durham County has experienced a higher turnover rate for teachers than the state over the last 5 years. 19.2 percent of teachers left after the 2015-16 school year versus 14.2 percent of teachers across the state. This turnover rate is the tenth-highest in the state and higher than Durham’s surrounding school districts and counties. While half of teachers leaving the county leave teaching altogether, half are leaving for other reasons. It is argued that one of the biggest reasons is teacher pay. Durham offers lower supplements than its neighbors which may be a significant contributor to this trend.
