Las Vegas Recruitment Effort To Overcome Teacher Shortage Profiled.

In a 2,337-word article, the Slate (9/22, Huseman) “Schooled” blog highlighted the “creative, desperate, or desperately creative” recruitment efforts that Las Vegas has embraced in order to overcome its teacher shortage. However, according to Slate, “Sin City’s attempted remedies might be most instructive in teaching us what not to do when scrambling to fill teacher vacancies.” The ultimate lessons from Las Vegas is that if the city “can successfully redirect some of its energies from recruitment to retention, it could become a model for cities grappling with their own teacher shortages.”
