Who Will Teach The Children?
Teachers and school administrators are leaving the field of education almost as quickly as Schools of Education are preparing them. According to research, 44% of educators leave the profession within five years. The current rate of teacher attrition may soon leave America's classrooms without enough teachers or school principals.
In his newest book, Who Will Teach the Children? Franklin P. Schargel raises the alarm about this national crisis and answers these questions:
Why are educators leaving? (It's not mainly about salary) What, if anything, can be done to retain them? How do we slow the educational exodus? Which states are most affected? Which subject areas face the greatest shortages? How can we create a globally competitive school system?
