Abstract

Teacher shortages are a current global crisis. According to United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. This chapter focuses on the teacher shortage by presenting statistics on the shortage both at an international and local level, the negative ramifications for teacher shortages as it pertains to students, and the history of teacher shortages. Furthermore, this chapter offers solutions to the teacher shortage by focusing on three key stakeholders – educational advocates and policymakers, higher education institutions, and PK-12 organizations. To overcome the teacher shortage, it is going to require a collaborative effort from all stakeholders.
