This report contains a compilation of information about elementary and secondary education employment in Idaho with a focus on current supply and demand and teacher preparation and certification. Data were gathered from all Idaho districts through a survey and from 1993-94 Idaho Basic Education Data System (IBEDS) reports. Information provided by Idaho's colleges and universities which prepare teachers was also included. A section on teacher supply and demand covers vacancy trends, applicants, ethnicity of teachers and students, shortage patterns, teacher recruitment and retention, and teacher characteristics. A section on teacher preparation and certification in the state covers certification trends and student enrollment. A section devoted to nontraditional teacher certification in Idaho looks at the use of letter of authorization certification, consultant specialist certification, teacher trainee certification (alternate route), and approved misassignment. A final section offers a summary and discussion of the data. Among the findings in this section are the following: (1) student enrollment appears to be increasing faster than teacher education workforce increases; (2) inquiries about teaching in Idaho increased during the 1993-94 school year; and (3) special education and pupil personnel services are types of vacancies that prove persistently difficult to fill. Appendixes contain extensive tables of data. (JB)
