| Abstract | Data about the teaching profession in Indiana make clear the potential for a full-blown public crisis unless policymakers take decisive action this year. Indiana teacher pay dropped 15 percent between 2000 and 2017 when adjusted for inflation, moving from $59,986 to $50,554--and Indiana teachers earn 17 percent less than college graduates in other fields. As a result, Indiana's pipeline of new teachers is drying up, with a 60 percent drop in individuals entering Indiana's teacher preparation programs from 2008-2009 to 2013-2014. Ninety-two percent of Indiana districts struggle to find qualified candidates for teacher openings. This means that as a new school year begins, administrators become willing to hire anyone into remaining slots. This situation has disastrous effects on students. On state standardized assessments, having an ineffective teacher for three years in a row can leave a student more than 50 percentile points behind peers who have excellent teachers each of those years. This report describes how to address Indiana's quiet teaching crisis by improving teacher recruitment, preparation, on-the-job development, and retention. The ideas and recommendations are based on a recent survey and focus groups with Indiana teachers that were administered by Stand for Children Indiana and Teach Plus Indiana; information on educator trends at the state and national levels; and cross-sector knowledge about talent strategy. The report identifies core challenges that Indiana must address to attract and retain teachers who lead their students to great results. It explains how career ladders can overcome many of these challenges, and it details three recommendations for legislative action: (1) As in such states as Oklahoma, which last year invested more than $400 million in teacher pay, Indiana should initiate a meaningful increase in funding for teacher compensation to become comparable with other professions and competitive with surrounding states; (2) For districts to receive this increased funding for compensation, state leaders should require them to develop well-designed career ladders and provide state-sponsored technical assistance to support successful transition to the resulting school management structure; and (3) To improve preparation and talent recruitment, the state should make a meaningful investment to support district efforts to provide teachers-in-training with a paid, full-year residency.
