Recruiting and Retaining STEM Teachers--A Resource Brief
Region 9 Comprehensive Center
School districts throughout the country have faced increasing challenges with recruiting and retaining beginning STEM teachers. In 2017, turnover rates for mathematics and science teachers were 90% greater in the top quartile of schools serving students of color than in the bottom quartile. A RAND Corporation 2021 survey found nearly one in four teachers, many of them STEM teachers, said they were likely to leave their jobs by the end of the 2020-21 school year. The shortage of qualified STEM teachers perpetuates the socioeconomic achievement gap and threatens the nation's ability to compete globally. This brief provides resources that highlight examples of strategies, programs, and initiatives that assist states, local education agencies, and school districts with addressing the shortage of certified STEM teachers.
