The State of the Teacher Workforce
The data are drawn from national data sources, representing the most recent data available for analysis as of April 2023. Interpretations of the data should keep in mind that the sources for various statistics represent different academic years (ranging mainly from 2017–18 to 2021–22). Some states may have recently experienced changes in policies or conditions which would change the statistic reported if it were collected today. In addition, some indicators are estimated based on a sample of teachers and, in some cases, sample sizes are relatively small. We follow the National Center for Education Statistics guidelines for reporting and note any estimates that should be interpreted with caution.
