Time: 11:45 a.m. to 12:35 p.m. Mountain Time
Location: This presentation is part of the Montana Conference of Education Leadership in Billings, Montana
Description: Based on recent research, this session will explore the degree of educator shortages in Montana and the extent to which educators stay at their position and school system, move to a different position or school system, or leave the Montana public education system. Participants will also learn the extent to which teachers and principals were employed in multiple positions within one or multiple school systems in 2016/17—a situation that may signal shortages, particularly in rural areas that have less access to qualified applicants.
Audience: Conference participants who are interested in educator recruitment and retention issues in Montana are encouraged to attend.
