So, the teaching shortage is a real issue in my district, and we especially have issues finding teachers for certain subjects. So, what is my district's solution going into next year? They are having us current teachers take on different subjects. For example, I typically teach social sciences, but if we aren’t able to fix our staffing issues by next year, I will also be teaching two to three Algebra classes… I hate math more than anything. Has this happened to anyone else?

Yes, I hated teaching art!
I don't understand how we are expected to teach where we have no license. Besides, there isn't a teacher shortage as much as a respect and money shortage. I know that here in Ohio, 43,000 teachers hold a valid license but are doing something that pays more and is more respectful of employees. 🤷‍♀️😳😱
Maybe start there 🤔

How would admin get around that fact that you cannot teach what you are not certified to teach? You, teachers, could lose your license.

I actually thought that, but I was under the impression that the move was for longer than 60 days. We are definitely chess pieces.

Wow!

That’s crazy. I just moved to Mississippi and I have been looking for a new teaching job. I have a Masters degree and I am certified for Elementary and Special Education PreK to age 21. There are openings and I have applied to a lot but no one has reached out to me…I think it’s because I have too much experience and they don’t want to start me with higher pay or they already filled them and didn’t take them down?

It also might be this time of the year. I am in Texas and our jobs won’t open up until the end of May.

In my district teachers have been moved around in recent years to prevent layoffs. As students move from public education to schools they think offer better choice.

They are going to end up needing Social Studies AND Algebra when teachers like you leave.

“You” is pretty general

This is the time for teachers to diversify their credentials by certifying in other subjects.

That’s terrible not only for you but also for the kids. The solution is to raise the starting salary for teachers or add a starting bonus as an incentive, maybe lower the number of years to achieve tenure.
