OKLAHOMA CITY (Sept. 24, 2015) — In the midst of a historic challenge, the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) is forming a task force to identify and recommend successful strategies for curbing the statewide teacher shortage crisis.
Over the course of a year, the OSDE Teacher Shortage Task Force will research methods to stem the crisis and test them for how they can benefit schools and students. A list of potential strategies is expected to be completed in early 2016, with a final report available that fall.
