Recruiting Quality Teachers in Mathematics, Science, and Special Education for Urban and Rural Schools
2007
There is an urgent need for urban and rural schools to recruit experienced teachers in mathematics, science, and special education. These teachers must have the content knowledge, intellectual flexibility, and demonstrated commitment to the teaching profession to meet the unique challenges and capitalize on the unique opportunities for teaching in these challenging settings. Strong recruitment strategies can help schools and districts compete for these teachers.
This publication focuses on six strategies for recruiting highly qualified teachers in mathematics, science, and special education: grow-your-own strategies, partnerships with institutions of higher education to create alternative licensure routes, financial incentives, streamlined hiring processes, improved working conditions and support, and approaches and policies to stem the tide of attrition and migration. These strategies can assist schools and districts to be competitive in the job market and to lure college students and other professionals who are interested in a teaching career.
