Even though we are increasing the numbers of people we can train, it seems like lots of them are leaving. |
Take Provo district. They had someone with experience in social work, and she wanted to be a teacher and didn't really want to go back to school and do a traditional way, so she enrolled in an Alternative Routes program. |
The universities are at their full capacity, it seems like, in producing teachers, but it's just not enough. |
What we're really concerned about is we're finding that nearly half the teachers leave in their first five years of teaching. |
