Tucson Education Association President tells us how teachers are being impacted by the strain on staffing.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Local schools are a month into the school year and several teacher vacancies in districts across the Tucson area have yet to be filled.
“So you can’t say to young people or people who have other careers, ‘Hey, come to teaching because great things are happening.” Because they’re not, because there’s a shortage. So it’s this weird cycle of events. And the shortages lead to sort of this demoralization of the position itself,” she said.
“A lot of the creativity teachers used to be able to embed in their lessons, has been pulled away,” she said.
