The current teacher shortage dynamic is a magnified version of the dynamic from before, especially at "high poverty schools [and among] high school teachers [in] specialized roles," said ERS' Rosenberg. Staffing for those roles is particularly difficult in "communities where there's already high turnover, which feeds itself because high turnover means you hire early career teachers and they also have high turnover," he said.

These teachers get more support than they normally would in a traditional model where they're working mostly by themselves with their 20 or 30 kids. "They're working as a team and they're getting better results," Hassel said. Public Impact's research found that the multiclassroom leader's student growth -- their ability to score higher in tests -- can jump from the 50th percentile to above the 70th percentile.

 She believes it's not something to be ashamed of and never used it as an excuse in life: I hate to make the excuse that I'm dyslexic. I've always found coping mechanisms, and I've got got on with my life.

'I had to pay for years of childcare - with a mortgage like millions of others. They are utterly selfish to have put you in this position and suggest if you have a good relationship with your son talk it out with him.' 

 The influencer knew from a young age that she wanted to follow a more creative path: 'In school I was always in like the second set, like academically, I just accepted the fact that I wasn't going to be the next scientist or the next English teacher.

I had a deal for two books - one on Helen of Troy and the other on Socrates. I also did three television series in that year. Overall, I think I earned £75,000. But I was working at least 80 hours a week. My kids called my books 'the treacherous books' because they hated the fact that the door of my study was closed when I was writing. 

For students, the old model means, "They'll only experience excellent teaching in a subject once every few years," said Hassel from Public Impact. "It makes great teaching a scarce resource that only a select fraction of students receive." For educators, he added, it "severely limits the opportunity to learn on the job from peers, or advance in their career and earn more while continuing to teach."

Last year, ERS conducted a study among six school districts across the country to see how turnover had changed compared with pre-pandemic years. "In all six districts, turnover going into fall 2020 went down," said Rosenberg, one of the authors of the study.

"The relationships and interactions with my students are what drives my passion for my job and brings me joy," A.C., another teacher from Austin, who's been teaching for about 25 years, said in an email. The pandemic has taken a toll on her. Now "the things about teaching I never thought about start finding real estate in my brain. ... Every other week or so, when I am feeling particularly down and out, I entertain the idea of leaving."

It was a stretch for us at the time. Obviously, it is worth a lot more now, but I have no idea how much. I don't even want to think about it. It's the best money decision I have ever made because it has meant my husband and I have had a secure family home in which to bring up our kids.
We'll probably end up being taken out of there feet first.

"The majority of children in the US learn in schools that replicate the dominant industrial model of education that was designed over 100 years ago to prepare most children to work in farm and factory jobs," Jenee Henry Wood, head of learning at Transcend, a national nonprofit helping schools reimagine education models, said in an email. 

"Salary is one huge part of it," Bryan Hassel, co-president of Public Impact, a nonprofit organization working with school districts to improve education for low-income and other underserved students, said over Zoom. If teacher pay had kept up with the increase in education spending over the last 50 years, he explains in one of his studies, the average annual teacher pay would be nearly $140,000 today. Instead, the national average annual teacher salary in the 2019-20 school year was just more than $63,000, according to the Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics.
