Student achievement improves from having teachers of diverse backgrounds, and while states have made progress in strengthening and diversifying the educator workforce, recent federal actions could affect those efforts. Despite these federal changes, states can implement evidence-based strategies to protect and build their educator pipelines and improve student outcomes.

States are working to close the teacher shortage gap, but a new wave of federal policy changes is likely to make it harder and more expensive to enter and stay in teaching, threatening to stall state progress when the educator workforce needs it most.

The latest state-reported data show 425,400-plus teaching positions are either unfilled or filled by teachers without full certification, making up roughly 1 in 8 positions nationwide. Because of variations in state policies, the severity of shortages and access to well-qualified teachers differ greatly from state to state.

California's teacher shortage crisis has tripled the number of teachers practicing with substandard credentials since 2012–13, disproportionately impacting students of color and low-income communities. While recent state investments have increased well-prepared teachers significantly, many programs are sunsetting. Sustained, coordinated policy action is needed to stabilize the state’s workforce.

California’s investment in teacher residencies has led to the recruitment and retention of a racially and ethnically diverse teacher workforce with higher passing rates on the state assessment and higher entry rates into the profession than other preparation pathways. Through residencies, candidates receive financial support and year-long guidance from a mentor in the classroom, while completing coursework.
