Among the many challenges post-COVID-19 is a depleted educational system. Many school districts in Florida are confronting a growing teacher shortage.
The Florida Department of Education reports that the following areas in the 2023-24 school year are in high demand: Exceptional Student Education (ESE), English, Science-General, English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), Reading, Math and Tech Education.
Jordan McCray, a third-year student at Florida A&M majoring in psychology and minoring in political science, is a second-grade reading tutor at Bond Elementary School. She can testify to these demands.
She says the teacher shortages could be related to the environmental changes post-COVID 19. She says the new virtual learning and online classrooms were unfamiliar to some teachers.
