A new report from the American Educational Research Association (AERA) has found that teacher shortages in the US are highly localized, with some areas in desperate need of teachers and others having a surplus. This research shows that while teacher shortages in some areas have been well-documented, the issue is not as widespread as some have suggested. The AERA report found that teacher shortages are generally concentrated in rural and low-income areas, with some states having higher-than-average shortages.
