Oklahoma’s teacher shortage has forced emergency hiring practices that place underqualified teachers into the classroom. In June 2021, 2,673 emergency certificates were granted to allow school districts to hire people who aren’t yet qualified to teach. It is one of several alternative pathways into teaching, but schools must demonstrate that they have exhausted every recruitment option to find a qualified person. Teacher retirements in the state also went up 38% in the summer of 2021.
The Oklahoma State School Boards Association states, "Oklahoma schools reported 1,019 teaching vacancies as the 2022-2023 school year began even as they are on pace to employ record numbers of emergency certified teachers and plan to expand the use of adjunct instructors. The vacancy number is the highest in the nine-year history of the survey."
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."
