Teachers play a critical role in the education of our children. We are in a crisis in this country with an estimated 55,000 teaching positions unfilled. On top of that, 270,000 teaching positions are currently filled by individuals who don’t have a standard [teaching] license or who are under emergency certification or [who teach] out of subject expertise. (Education Week – 12/21/23)
Since the pandemic, teachers have signaled that they’re more inclined to quit their jobs, citing:
- High stress
- Low pay
- Lack of respect
Many school districts have reported having a hard time filling staff vacancies at the start of this school year.
In response to this problem, B2SA is launching our Teacher Classroom Kit program, which will provide teachers with a large box filled with more than 500 vital school supplies for their classrooms. Teachers spend on average $780 per year on school supplies.
