Title: Entry and Exit of Baltimore City Teachers Before and After COVID
Presentation Abstract:
In this study, MLDS data were used to investigate whether Baltimore City schools experienced changes in teacher supply during COVID. Through descriptive evidence on teacher entry and exit from 2016 to 2022, this study examines:
- Whether exit rates for city schools changed relative to pre-COVID rates and relative to other Maryland local education agencies (LEAs);
- Whether teacher demographics changed as a result of changing entry and exit patterns;
- Whether undergraduate institutions preparing teachers in the teacher pipeline changed over time; and
- How teacher certification at entry changed over time.
Implications for a sustainable teacher pipeline in the context of the Blueprint for Maryland's Future will be discussed.
