2023 Educator Preparation Program and Workforce Analysis Report: Covering Data through the 2022-23 School Year

The ongoing staffing challenges facing Wisconsin's schools continue to be rooted in retention. Wisconsin is producing more teachers than are retiring, and data suggests that if Wisconsin could retain its educators, along with more completers of educator preparation programs, this would significantly address the shortages schools are experiencing. This report provides a breakdown of educator preparation programs by licensable subject area. While the state has a robust number of educator preparation programs overall, in some license areas there are few enrollments and few or no programs available. This raises questions about how the state will meet obligations to ensure a path to licensure and how to incentivize or grow enrollments in certain license areas. This year's report examines the following for the first time: (1) Retention data for special education teachers; (2) The number of completers and educator preparation programs by subject area; (3) Compensation data disaggregated for first-year, 15-year, and 30-year teachers; and (4) An appendix demonstrating where educators completing preparation programs go on to work by locale code. The purpose of this report is to provide the most complete picture possible to educators, employers, preparation programs, and others interested in addressing the workforce needs in K-12 education. The data in this report is presented to enable the state to better understand the challenges and opportunities present in meeting those needs.
