  5. Attainment Progress Residents with a high-quality degree or credential 2-year degree or higher Includes workforce-relevant certificates *An estimated 7% of Florida residents and 5.2% of U.S. residents hold a workforce-relevant certificate, according to Lumina Foundation.

  14. “Every day, in every school, every student has a teacher as good as the best teacher any of us ever had.”

  15. 1. Is There a Teacher Shortage in Florida? An Examination in Teacher Vacancies, Retention and Trends

  16. Florida Will Need to Add 8,500 Full-Time Teachers Over the Next 6 Years to Meet Demand

  17. Teacher Preparation Completions Are Down, But Initial Certifications Are Up

  18. Teacher Preparation Program Enrollments and Placements Are Down, But Placement Rates Among Completers Remains Stable

  19. Florida Continues to See Net Increases in its Classroom Teacher Workforce, Despite Annual Turnover

  20. Retirements Are Down Among Reasons Teachers Give For Leaving, While “Other Personal Reasons” Are Up

  21. Three-Quarters of Classroom Teachers Who Were Teaching 5 Years Ago Are Still In Florida Public Schools

  22. Teachers With Highly Effective VAM Scores Are Two-and-a-Half-Times Less Likely to Leave than Teachers With Needs Improvement or Unsatisfactory VAM Scores

  23. Over the Last 5 Years the Top Critical Shortage Areas have Remained Relatively the Same.

  24. Paraprofessionals Are Increasing, and Offering Support Geared Toward Encouraging Professional Certification Among This Population Could Help Districts Struggling to Fill Vacancies

  25. Florida’s Classroom Teacher Workforce is Becoming More Diverse, But Remains Less Diverse Than Its Student Population Teachers Students

  26. Small Group Discussion • As you look through the data, what findings jumped out at you? Share those as “think-abouts.” • Do any ideas or possible actions emerge as you think on how colleges and universities can address some of these “think-abouts?”

  27. 2. Teacher Production versus Need in state approved programs – By the Numbers

  28. ITPs (Initial Teacher Preparation Programs) Completers 2016-2017 High Producers Lower Producers

  29. EPIs (Educator Preparation Institutes) Completers 2016-2017 High Producers Low Producers

  30. Day 1 Vacancy (2017-2018) 100 (5) 287 (8) 363 438 (5) 293 (3)

  31. Day 1 Vacancy (2018-2019) 112 (3) 471 (2) 396 1080 803

  32. 16/17 Production by Region ITP/EPI 524 534 1026 1135 955

  33. 17/18 Placement by Region ITP/EPI 252 489 793 929 890

  34. Placement/Day 1 Vacancy

  35. Production (16-17 Completers) compared to 17/18 Placement

  36. In small groups: • Analyzing the all data/information presented for patterns, trends, surprises, and new questions that “jump” out – • Patterns/trends that are noticed…. • Further analysis/data questions that this inspires… • What ‘wonderings’ do you have about the data and its implications? • Generating hypotheses, inferring, explaining, and drawing conclusions. • What are some possibilities for learning and opportunities for growth that this data may present? • Possible responses that address the needs implied by this data…

  37. 3. Proposed Solutions and Reflection

  38. Partnerships • How can increasing communication and shared planning with districts/charters/schools help to increase completers and placements within institutions? • What can institutions and colleges do to facilitate this?

  39. Planned updates • Updating the public APPR page DRAFT DRAFT

  40. In small groups: • How can the department best support and facilitate the growth and development of partnerships between school districts/charters and Universities/Colleges? • What type of information would you like to see in an updated version of the public APPR website and how do you envision your institution using/disseminating a site like this? • Legislative updates – question?
