Missouri schools continue to struggle with having enough teachers available to educate students in traditional classrooms this year. The Show-Me State has had a chronic problem with teacher shortages, but COVID-19 has made that can of worms open even more. In September, DESE launched an online training program that can fast track candidates to become K-12 substitute teachers. The temporary effort is meant to help fill the gaps in teacher shortages during the pandemic. More than 2,700 Missourians have enrolled in the program so far and about 700 are currently subbing. Despite the volume of participation, the need for more subs still exists. Just ask Missouri Board of Education member Mary Schrag of West Plains.
Substitute teacher certifications have also taken a plunge since March. The range has been anywhere from 16% to 72% compared to last year.
