Teacher quality is one of the most important predictors of a child's academic achievement, but schools in Indiana and across the nation are struggling to employ a full cadre of teachers who are qualified to instruct the subjects they are teaching. This policy brief explores the factors and circumstances behind the national struggle to meet the highly qualified teacher requirement under No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), focusing on recruitment and retention issues for both subject-area and geographic shortages. Factors contributing to teacher turnover are explored. The policy brief outlines several key recommendations to help schools improve teacher recruitment and retention efforts. Additionally, three policy perspectives are presented: (1) How Do We Recruit, Retain, and Reward Indiana's Educators (Judy Briganti and Warren L. Williams); (2) Recruitment and Retention in IPS (Jane Ajabu); and (3) Recruitment and Retention in a Rural School Corporation (Robert Klitzman). (Contains 4 tables, 3 figures, and 5 endnotes.)
