In 2016, the nonprofit Learning Policy Institute reported that teacher education enrollment dropped from 691,000 to 451,000, a 35 percent reduction, between 2009 and 2014. The U. S. Department of Education (2015) reports that a majority of states have identified teacher shortages in mathematics (47 states and the District of Columbia); special education (46 states and D.C.); science (43 states); world languages (40 states and D.C.); career and technical education (32 states); teachers of English language learners (32 states); art, music, and dance (28 states); and English (27 states).

Consider creating teacher residency programs that provide apprenticeships in high-need schools under the wing of expert teachers. Recruited teachers who complete their training would be hired and paid for their training time with years of service. "Grow-your-own" programs also create a pathway for young people to stay and serve in their community's schools. Gordon, Rath, & White (2018) January 2019 10
