Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teacher supply and demand issues are of critical importance as our society enters the 21st century. Over the next decade, there will be an increasing demand for new teachers-about two million-due in part to a dramatic increase in enrollments and high attrition rates as an aging teacher workforce becomes eligible for retirement. Where these teachers will come from and where they will teach is important to understand as our society faces increasing racial, ethnic, and linguistic diversity. Amid this diversity is a continuing concern that some racial-ethnic groups are disproportionately placed at risk. Thus, this article focuses on the supply and demand patterns of minority teachers, with special attention to teachers of students in high-risk districts. The authors analyze data on teachers from Texas between 1979 and 1996. They provide a variety of descriptive results-both univariate and multivariate-showing that while Texas has been successful in attracting minority teachers, it has a long way to go in attaining the goal of the Texas State Board of Education: to have a teacher workforce that reflects the racial-ethnic composition of the state.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines demand and supply of minority teachers in Texas. Researchers investigated what defined at-risk districts; how those districts differed from those not at risk; and what was known about the likely future demand and supply of minority teachers. Information came from a longitudinal data file on public school teachers in Texas from 1979-1996 obtained from the Texas Education Agency. Results indicate that three-quarters of all Texas full-time teachers are non-Hispanic White, whereas the student body is over half minority. Texas has done well in attracting minorities to teaching using many sources. Recently, minorities have accounted for 26 percent of new teacher cohorts. Alternative teacher certification programs are a rich source of minority teachers. Future supply looks less promising, with decreasing numbers of teachers in the pipeline and the mandated teacher entry and certification tests proving a bigger hurdle for minority than white candidates. Results suggest that minority teachers display a greater sensitivity to pay and working conditions. This report's five chapters are: (1) "Introduction"; (2) "Students and Teachers in At-Risk Settings"; (3) "Components of Teacher Supply"; (4) "Components of Teacher Demand"; and (5) "Conclusions and Policy Implications." The two appendixes present resources and working conditions in low-, medium-, and high-risk districts and results of multivariate models based on teacher characteristics, 1980-81 to 1995-96. (Contains approximately 90 references.) (SM)

Book excerpt: The research reported here was supported by Grant No. R3O6F6O175 from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Educational Research and Improvement's Field Initiated Studies Grant Program. Teacher supply and demand issues are of critical importance as our society enters the 21st century. Over the next decade, we will need about two million new teachers, largely because of a dramatic increase in enrollments and high attrition rates as an aging teacher workforce becomes eligible for retirement. It is important to understand where these teachers will come from and where they will teach as our society faces increasing racial, ethnic, and linguistic diversity. Amidst this diversity is a continuing concern that some racial/ethnic groups are disproportionately placed at risk. The larger project focuses on teachers of at-risk children, with special emphasis on the supply and demand patterns of minority teachers, who tend to be the ones primarily teaching in high-risk districts. This report analyzes longitudinal data on teachers from Texas between 1979 and 1996 to address this issue. Our results show that although Texas has been successful in attracting minority teachers, it has a long way to go in attaining the goal of the Texas State Board of Education: to have a teacher workforce that reflects the racial/ethnic composition of the state. These results should be of interest to researchers and policymakers dealing with issues of teacher supply and demand, particularly with respect to minority teachers.

Book excerpt: Representatives from 26 educational, community, and governmental groups attended a national symposium in January 1990 sponsored by the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE). The position paper presented here was developed at this symposium. It examines the growing population of students from different ethnic and racial backgrounds and holds that teacher preparation programs need to be restructured in order that all teachers, whether majority or minority, may be adequately prepared to provide quality education to all students. In order to nurture a culturally informed teaching force, preservice teachers must be prepared more effectively to teach students from diverse backgrounds. The "Next Level" initiative requires policy and programmatic changes to incorporate diversity throughout teacher education programs. The paper discusses why the initiative is necessary; who should be involved; and how it should be implemented. (LL)

Book excerpt: This book examines policy issues, projection models, and data bases pertaining to the supply of, demand for, and quality of teachers in the United States from kindergarten to twelfth grade. It identifies additional data needed to clarify policy issues or for use in projection models, with a long-range view of contributing to the development of a teaching force of higher quality in the United States. The book has major implications for the teacher work force and for statisticians and researchers involved in investigating, modeling, and projecting teacher supply, demand, and quality.
