FIU is hosting a conversation on the national teacher shortage accompanied with our Dean of Education, professors from across our and external disciplines, as well as the host of PBS Newshour Classroom. 

America has been facing a catastrophic teacher shortage. with an estimated 300,000 vacancies at schools across the country. The National Education Association found that 55 percent of teachers in the U.S. say they will leave the profession sooner than previously planned.
