TEACHER SHORTAGE SOLUTIONS
Across the U.S., as cities and states are growing at a rapid rate, the number of students in classrooms is growing significantly.
The National Center for Education Statistics predicts that the school-going population will increase by roughly three million students in the next decade.1
As a result, school districts need a sustainable way to address the severe shortage of qualified K-12 teachers and staff available to meet their needs.
Some districts have not been able to fill positions for months—even years. They need:
-
An education talent pipeline to recruit, certify, and train new teachers and staff
-
A robust system of supports for new educators, so they stay in the classroom
EdForce is the solution.
EdForce is a K-12 human capital, recruitment, and support services system designed to help school districts solve the task of filling every classroom. It includes:
Recruiting and
sourcing of talent
Full-cycle teacher
pipeline

certification exams
Coaching, professional
development (CEU

Your district can utilize Title funding or CARES Act Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funds to subsidize this system.
