Florida’s teacher workforce is undergoing significant change. Drawing on statewide data, this series of research briefs examines trends in teacher turnover, compensation, workforce composition, qualifications, and staffing across Florida’s public schools. Collectively, the findings suggest that building a stable and experienced teacher workforce will require a balanced strategy that supports teacher recruitment, preparation, compensation, and retention while addressing persistent inequities in students’ access to qualified teachers.<\/p>\n
