1 Signature Assignment Aspen University EDD830: Leadership Theory September 13, 2021
2 Signature Assignment Introduction In North Carolina, there is currently a wide spread of teacher shortages and has since increased the start of school back in August. Many students have returned to the classrooms without a qualified teacher to teach their classes. Instead, classes are being covered by substitutes, Teacher Assistants (TA), or teachers who cover the class during their planning period. The shortage has impacted many counties where some districts may experience teacher shortage worse than others (Mitchell, D., & Grissett, D. (2021, September 11). When scrolling through school districts' websites, there are thousands of teacher positions vacancies that are in need to be filled with qualified teachers. There is about 30% of North Carolina students have fully licensed math teachers throughout the state. Because of the teacher shortage, many teachers have to teach face to face and using technology such as Teams and Zoom to teach students remotely in other schools for some counties like Roberson County (Mitchell, D., & Grissett, D. (2021, September 11). The Department of Education is aware of the teacher shortage in North Carolina. There is a shortage of qualified teachers for the 2021-22 school year that has impacted all core classes and grade levels in elementary, middle, and high schools. For some districts, they are offering new qualified teachers sign-on bonuses that are funded through the federal Covid relief dollars (Mitchell, D., & Grissett, D. (2021, September 11). However, what about the teachers who have stayed the course working long countless hours planning and teaching their students yet covering other classes that do not have teachers. Has the district forgotten about those teachers who are burned out with the lack of local, state, and federal government support? What about those
3 teachers fighting with blood, sweat, and tears to ensure that the students of North Carolina are getting the best quality education possible? Many factors have impacted the widespread teacher shortage throughout the state and across this country. Lack of increase in teacher pay and the overcrowded classrooms has been the two main factor that has caused many teachers to leave their classrooms ( Mitchell, D., & Grissett, D. (2021, September 11). There are so many educators who feel unappreciated and not treated as professionals with the benefits and compensation that are being ripped from underneath them. Teachers are moving to other states offering teachers better incentives or choosing to pursue other ventures outside of teaching. From this standpoint, the state of North Carolina is in a state of emergency, with the teacher shortage increasing every year. There must be some resolution that the local, state and federal government can set in place to offer teachers better salaries and benefit incentives such as education reimbursement and health benefits.
