Teacher Shortage and Alternative Licensure Solutions for Technical Educators

Britton H. Devier

Abstract

Career and technical education (CTE) continues to face an annual shortage of qualified teachers in the profession. This shortage has caused an increase in the use of alternative certification/licensure pathways across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. These alternative pathways are highly divergent from state to state. Limited research has investigated the alternative certification/licensure requirements that may contribute to CTE teacher shortage. This predictive correlational study looked to determine if CTE alternative certification/licensure requirements could predict CTE teacher shortages. It was found that CTE alternative certification/licensure requirements were not a good predictor of CTE teacher shortage.
