The report focused on two big issues, support for new teachers and declining employment of certified teachers.

Another problem contributing to Alabama’s teacher shortage, according to the report, is that since 2015, one in four teachers who received their first-time teaching certificate in Alabama do not teach in the state’s public schools. Beyond the 14% of Alabama teachers voluntarily exiting the classroom each year, ACES found that about 4% of Alabama’s teachers were terminated every year since 2013. Alabama’s current efforts to keep teachers in the classroom aren’t enough, the report states, costing taxpayers millions of dollars every year. Mentors receive $1,000 each year - called “modest” by the report’s authors – for a minimum of 90 hours of work. ACES criticized the state’s lack of data on teacher vacancies, a standard measurement used by other states, that could help pinpoint where needs are the greatest. The report put the national five-year exit rate at 44%.
