As the new school year begins across the country, public schools are struggling to hire and retain qualified teachers. Fewer young adults are entering the profession, shortages remain high — especially in hard-to-staff subjects and regions — and school staffs lack the diversity of their student populations. In attempting to fill vacancies, lawmakers in Florida, New Hampshire and elsewhere have proposed cutting corners by reducing the qualifications necessary to become a licensed teacher. But as an education policy analyst and a former teacher, I know this is a mistake. Deprofessionalizing education only compounds the harm that staffing shortages inflict on students and communities. Moving forward means addressing the root cause: lack of respect for teachers.

States want to reduce qualifications for teachers. That’s a huge mistake.

Despite unemployment rates that have hovered at or below 4% for 30 months, signaling near-record lows, a significant number of young adults find themselves on the sidelines, struggling to secure employment or opting out of the labor force altogether. This conversation has two different groups: The first are “NEETs.” As in not in employment, education, or training, and then we have the “new unemployables,” a term created by the consulting firm Korn Ferry to describe highly trained individuals who face impossible hurdles in finding employment.

With rising homelessness and poverty, it goes without saying that our current paradigm in addressing these serious problems—that is, fragmented and short-term solutions—is not working. While emergency shelters, food pantries, and temporary housing are needed, they are only Band-Aids on top of a deeper wound. Dealing with homelessness and poverty requires new strategies rooted in the very causes of these issues. One of the most hopeful ways for the empowerment of homeless and underprivileged populations into self-sustaining communities is through sustainable technologies, such as solar energy and community gardens, with targeted assistance programs.
