当代教育思想认为，学校表现不佳的关键原因之一是学校无法为教室配备合格的教师。人们普遍认为，学校受到教师短缺的困扰，主要是由于最近教师退休和学生入学人数增加。本报告总结了一系列分析，这些分析调查了是否有其他因素与学校的组织特点和条件有关，这些因素是学校人员配备问题的原因。本调查所用数据来自国家教育统计中心进行的学校和工作人员调查及其补充，教师跟踪调查。这些数据表明，学校人员配备问题主要不是由于教师短缺，也就是说合格教师供应不足。相反，数据表明，学校人员配备问题主要是由于“旋转门”，即大量合格教师因退休以外的原因离职。数据显示，与教师工作不满意和教师谋求其他工作等其他因素相比，退休造成的人员流动相对较少。本报告的结论是，教师招聘计划传统上占主导地位的政策领域将无法解决这些学校的人员配备问题，如果他们不也解决组织来源的教师保留率低。评论转载自教育政策研究联盟和教学与政策研究中心共同主办的研究报告，2003年9月，30页。这篇期刊文章可在学术共享：http://repository.upenn.edu/gse_pubs/133真的存在教师短缺吗？
Contemporary educational thought holds that one of the pivotal causes of inadequate school performance is the inability of schools to adequately staff classrooms with qualified teachers. It is widely believed that schools are plagued by shortages of teachers, primarily due to recent increases in teacher retirements and student enrollments. This report summarizes a series of analyses that have investigated the possibility that there are other factors tied to the organizational characteristics and conditions of schools that are behind school staffing problems. The data utilized in this investigation are from the Schools and Staffing Survey and its supplement, the Teacher Follow-up Survey conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics. These data indicate that school staffing problems are not primarily due to teacher shortages, in the sense of an insufficient supply of qualified teachers. Rather, the data indicate that school staffing problems are primarily due to a "revolving door" where large numbers of qualified teachers depart their jobs for reasons other than retirement. The data show that the amount of turnover accounted for by retirement is relatively minor when compared to that associated with other factors, such as teacher job dissatisfaction and teachers pursuing other jobs. This report concludes that teacher recruitment programs traditionally dominant in the policy realm will not solve the staffing problems of such schools if they do not also address the organizational sources of low teacher retention.
