Research: Exploring Impact of Teacher Certification Policy on Educator Workforce
Research by University of Houston, commissioned by Philanthropy Advocates, on Texas teacher certification policies
Through both preparation routes and policies permitting uncertified teachers to serve as classroom teachers, there are many routes to prepare teachers to meet workforce demand. In the face of staffing challenges, flexibility is available for school districts to hire uncertified teachers. We aimed to understand the impact of this practice on students and the overall teacher workforce pipeline.
