The "Condition of Teacher Supply and Demand in Ohio, 2004" study provides the first attempt to both address "what is happening" in the teaching profession as well as provide an explanation for "why the problems are occurring." This study builds on information from existing databases on student enrollment, teacher workforce demographics, teacher attrition and mobility, teaching vacancies, the pipeline for new teachers in higher education, and staffing issues in community schools. For each of the issues presented in this report, quantitative data drawn from analysis of existing databases and qualitative data from interviews of teachers and administrators is provided to describe and explain the area of concern. Accompanying this report are two data appendices. The first presents the quantitative data and follows the format of last year's report. The second appendix presents the qualitative findings. This appendix presents the results of focus groups and individual interviews conducted with a sample of approximately 100 teachers and 20 school district administrators across the state. (Contains 24 tables and 4 figures.)
