A Research Report from EPIC

Michigan Teacher Shortage Study: 2024 Report

January 2024

This is the third in a series of annual reports about teacher shortages in Michigan that the state legislature requested in December 2020 (2020 PA 316). Although the state data on this topic is limited, these analyses still help to paint a picture of teacher shortages across Michigan, assist policymakers to target policies and programs in ways that can best support the state and local communities in growing their teacher workforces, and highlight ways that new or better data may provide a deeper understanding of local and statewide teacher shortages. In addition to updating the analyses from EPIC’s first comprehensive report, we continue to adjust and expand on our past analyses based on the results from prior reports and any additions or improvements to the data available each year.
