Abstract

ABSTRACT Teacher shortages represent a global challenge for educator preparation programs (EPPs) and the districts they serve. Using mixed methods approach to data collection and analysis, this paper presents the findings of the three cases involving the use of student data and partner voices to highlight the benefits of intentionally integrating the concepts of Improvement Sciences, Equitable Experiences, educator preparation learning communities, and the changemaker mindset in the design of initiatives for addressing local teacher shortages. Results provide a ground-up perspective on promising strategies for local EPPs and school districts seeking to create a sustainable pipeline of quality educators by focusing on expanding access, success, and mobility for non-traditional student teachers (teacher candidates).
