ABSTRACT

Are teacher shortages an area of concern or perhaps a serious problem in your school or school district? Does your school system Web page look like the one below that we pulled off the Internet for a large urban school system? Are you starting each school year with an increasing number of teacher vacancies? Are you losing your beginning teachers within the first 1 to 3 years of job entry? Do you feel your veteran teachers are marking time until retirement? Do you know why?
