Department of Teacher Education Advising and Licensure
Brad Smith: There has, for some time, been a significant teacher shortage in many areas across the country. In NC, educator recruitment initiatives of all types exist in school districts, state agencies, and colleges and universities. Still, it's not uncommon for schools to begin the academic year with vacancies. I recommend that individuals interested in a teaching career review the licensing requirements in their state and speak with an advisor at a state-approved and accredited teacher education program to understand their options. Many states, NC included, have processes in place that make it possible for individuals who hold a bachelor's degree to begin teaching while they complete licensure coursework, creating a smoother transition for those changing careers. Teaching is an absolutely incredible profession. Your future students need you!
