The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted teacher candidates’ ability to complete licensure requirements, prompting many states to temporarily reduce professional entry requirements to avoid teacher shortages.

The stickiness of pandemic-driven disenrollment from public schools
Two Years Later
The unprecedented challenges of teaching during COVID-19 prompted fears of a mass exodus from the profession. We examine the extent to which these fears were realized using administrative records of Massachusetts teachers between 2015–2016 and 2021–2022.

Observable characteristics do not easily explain this cro…
