30,000 teachers in Oklahoma have left the profession in the past 6 years. Here’s why.
Striking teachers rally last year at the State Capitol in Oklahoma City. By Valerie Strauss Valerie Strauss Reporter covering education, foreign affairs Email Bio Follow Reporter March 5 at 6:00 AM Oklahoma’s schools superintendent described it as “staggering,” and it is: A new report says that 30,000 teachers in the state have quit the profession over the past six years — and about half did it because of low pay, little respect and other reasons that made the job too hard or unattractive.
The exodus of teachers, the Department of Education said in a release, “represents an average of 10 percent of Oklahoma’s teacher workforce, in comparison to a national attrition rate of 7.7 percent.” State Superintendent Joy Hofmeister was quoted as saying: While the report focuses on Oklahoma, it highlights problems teachers face throughout the country. States have been reporting increasing teacher shortages , and surveys have found in recent years plummeting morale among public school teachers who feel they have been blamed by policymakers for low student achievement and who work in schools with a desperate need for more resources. Oklahoma’s public school system has suffered one of the largest national budget cuts over the past decade.
The reasons they have left can be seen in this chart from the report, which was first reported on by the Tulsa World.Retention rates of Oklahoma teachers from a state report. /Oklahoma Department of Education)) The report makes clear: “The key takeaway from this data is about half of teacher attrition could be addressed through policy and practice changes.”
