Teacher Shortage in Arizona
Arizona has a critical teacher shortage that affects the education its students are receiving. According to the Arizona Education Association, “2,890 teacher vacancies were unfilled across Arizona as of January 2023, representing 25% of all teacher vacancies. Of the vacancies that have been filled, 45% were filled by people who don’t meet standard teacher certification requirements”. Uncertified teachers have not completed all of their training and are not qualified to educate students. Arizona students are suffering.
Ultimately, the most recent teacher shortage report shows 2,890 teacher vacancies plus 5,036 under-qualified teachers in Arizona during the 2022-23 school year. The lack of teachers in virtual teaching jobs is compromising the effectiveness of virtual instruction. Teacher Shortage reports claim, "Based on news and state reports, we estimate that there are at least 55,000 vacant teacher positions in the United States."
