But that approach does not make teaching an attractive profession to consider, nor worthwhile for someone to stay and thrive in. Solving the teacher shortage problem requires solutions that reduce the numbers of teachers leaving the field and specifically address the lack of respect, low pay, hyperscrutiny and poor working conditions that they regularly endure.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bios:<\/strong> Henry Tran is Associate Professor of Education Leadership at the University of South Carolina and Douglas A.
