The promises and pitfalls of government-funded teacher staffing initiatives on teacher employment in hard-to-staff schools
Situated against teacher demand problems worldwide, rising teacher turnover and declining teacher education enrollment have rendered the state of South Carolina a region commonly described as facing a “teacher shortage crisis.” This paper reports results from an evaluation of the Rural Recruitment Initiative (RRI), a state-level teacher staffing policy for SC’s hard-to-staff districts. Based on a decade of data analysis, we assess RRI’s causal ef…
Balancing the scale
Seeing the Visibly Invisible
Background/Context: Progressive human resources thinking has suggested the importance of employee experiences for workforce engagement, inclusion, and retention, but the intentional design of positive employee experiences requires a deep understanding of workers’ lived experiences in order to respond to their differentiated needs. Although the repeated marginalization of educators who are women, people of color, and from rural spaces have each re…
The rural teacher shortage
There is much alarm about the current teacher shortage resulting from the pandemic and its aftermath. But teacher shortages have long been a perennial issue in K-12 education. Researchers Richard Ingersoll and Henry Tran analyzed data from the National Center of Education Statistics to compare rural schools to urban and suburban schools to understand their teacher staffing problems. They found that rural teacher shortages are worse than elsewhere…
Teacher Shortages and Turnover in Rural Schools in the US
Purpose: The objective of this study is to provide an overall national portrait of elementary and secondary teacher shortages and teacher turnover in rural schools, comparing rural schools to suburban and urban schools. This study utilizes an organizational theoretical perspective focusing on the role of school organization and leadership in the causes of, and solutions to, teacher shortages and staffing problems. Data/Methods: The study entailed…

Placental Neutrophil Infiltration Associated with Tobacco Exposure but Not Development of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
Objective: In utero inflammation is associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants. We hypothesized that maternal tobacco exposure (TE) might induce placental neutrophil infiltration, increasing the risk for BPD. Study design: We compared the composite outcome of BPD and death in a prospective pilot study of TE and no-TE mothers and their infants born <32 weeks. Placental neutrophil infiltration was approximated by neutrophil…
Of Coalition and Resistance in Abbeville v. South Carolina
This study interrogates Abbeville v. the State of South Carolina using a policy-regimes framework to understand the relationship between the South Carolina Judicial System, General Assembly, and Educational stakeholders. We seek to understand how the political interests of the General Assembly and wealthy districts may have subverted a coalition of districts seeking remedy for historical school funding inequities. Through in-depth interviews, we …
What Matters Most for Recruiting Teachers to Rural Hard-to-Staff Districts
This study reports on findings from a convergent parallel mixed methods analysis examining the perspectives of college students concerning their teaching considerations at a rural district with severe teacher-staffing problems. Based on a framework of multiple attribute utility theory, a utility analysis was used to compare the relative importance of working characteristics for a sample of college students at a regional southeastern university. A…
Teacher and center stability and school readiness among low-income, ethnically diverse children in subsidized, center-based child care
School readiness gains made by ethnically diverse children in poverty attending center-based childcare and public school pre-kindergarten programs
Child care effects in context
Main and interactive effects of child care quality, stability, and multiplicity on infants' attachment security, language comprehension, language production, and cognitive development at 15 months were examined using data from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Study of Early Child Care. Thirty-nine percent of the infants in this sample experienced arrangement change, and 46% experienced multiple concurrent arran…
