Hi guys,

I am a college senior majoring in Early Childhood/Elementary education (we do not have elementary in Ohio anymore).  And I am graduating this December (very excited about this) and I'm very frustrated with the facts that I am living in the only state that really does not have a shortage in teachers.  
What states have major shortages?  Are there any states with shortages in the elementary school years?  I'm finding more and more that I should have just gone into social work to begin with, but hindsight is always 20/20.

Hi Melanie. I have a sister that is graduating in the same field, she is hoping to start her own day care out of her house so that she can be home with her kids. As far as states that have a shortage of teachers... I don't know about other states out west but UT is in some need. They have coaches for some of the teams teaching classes that they know little more than the students do. You may not want to make the move to UT, but I would seriously look at some of the western schools, I know NV just got a huge shock with the rating on its teachers, they couldn't all speak English fluently ( which I took to mean that they had heavy accents and the people testing them just didn't understand them.) Anyway just some thoughts, hope all works out for you and your friend.
