The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction recently released their annual report on educator preparation and workforce in our state. This year's report found that we have shortcomings, including with teacher retention. 4 out of every 10 teachers either leave the profession or leave the state in their first six years. This shortage of teachers is especially pronounced when it comes to special education teachers. 74% of the schools in Wisconsin state that they have one or more vacancies for a special education educator.
