Teacher Supply and Demand in Florida: Fifth Annual Report.
Florida State Dept. of Education, Tallahassee.
This report of teacher supply and demand in Florida looks at measures of teacher shortages during the 1985-86 school year, compares the projected supply of teachers by subject field with the numbers needed during 1987-88, and then projects the demand for teachers through the end of the century. Also included are status reports on programs which have recently been initiated to offset teacher shortages. One issue discussed at length in this report is the proportion of Florida teachers completing their training outside the state; from 60 to 65 percent of Florida's teachers come from out of state. As emphasized in prior reports, the most important factor in teacher supply and demand in Florida over the next 15 years is the shift in the age distribution of the population. State forecasts indicate that during the next few years the schools can expect overall annual enrollment increases, with steady increases continuing until at least the year 2000. Appendices contain supplementary tables and copies of statutory measures for attracting teachers. (JD)
