Resources to support the teacher shortage - we have what they need, and it's more of a communication challenge - we have what they need
- Examples: Head Start teachers coming in without proper training; have tools for physical fitness

2. Increase the quality of what you are doing

3. Don't add to the plate, actually take off of plate - resources for lesson planning

4. "Get Into It" curriculum - repackaging

5. Try it Programs - give it a shot]]> 2022-11-08 16:02:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kaleighgardner/educatorshortage/wish/2375262461 Continue to listen to them on what they are seeing in their states, obtaining real time circumstances on the problem and providing feedback on any resources/information that might ease the impact. All my programs understand that there isn’t an overnight fix most just want to be heard and know we are working with them to understand the impact and come up with strategies to help. https://padlet.com/kaleighgardner/educatorshortage/wish/2375263222 2022-11-08 16:03:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kaleighgardner/educatorshortage/wish/2375263222 https://padlet.com/kaleighgardner/educatorshortage/wish/2375269498 * what incentives are we able to offer teachers? What incentives would be impactful for you as a teacher?
* how can we make your UCS involvement more time efficient? What are the pain point areas?
* what info isn’t defined or shared? (Subs paid for by UCS to do PD)
* what parent info can we provide to support teachers? 
* what are obstacles preventing you from doing your job or feeling safe, fulfilled, happy?
is classroom discipline a large issue? What is most helpful in the classroom?
* would a sub packet help? Having resources to give to subs to avoid a ton of planning?
* what are obstacles that are preventing you from implementing UCS? (Ex: transportation, sub availability, salary, PD, lack of time)
