Education issues — including workforce challenges — likely to be in focus during the legislative session.
Solutions could include expanding teacher mentorship programs, boosting yearlong paid educator residencies and restructuring school schedules to allow for more planning time, speakers told lawmakers in Austin during the hearing. Teachers also called for more mental health supports and a focus on diversity, equity and inclusion.
“This is not simply an education issue,” said Stephen Pruitt, president of the Southern Regional Education Board. “It is actually a workforce issue.”Pruitt said lawmakers must attack teacher recruitment and retention using multi-faceted approaches. Teachers leave because they don’t feel prepared for the job, because they want a fulfilling career ladder and for a myriad other reasons, he said.
“If we don’t address the things that we’ve done, or haven’t done, to contribute to these problems — on top of the age-old, every-state-is-experiencing-these situations — then we’re going to come up with a solution that ignores some of the largest contributing factors,” Bernal said.
