Across the country, districts are struggling with shortages of teachers, particularly in math, science and special education—a result of the layoffs of the recession years combined with an improving economy in which fewer people are training to be teachers. At the same time, a growing number of English-language learners are entering public schools, yet it is increasingly difficult to find bilingual teachers. So schools are looking for applicants everywhere they can—whether out of state or out of country—and wooing candidates earlier and quicker. Some are even asking prospective teachers to train on the job, hiring novices still studying for their teaching credentials, with little, if any, classroom experience.
Louisville, Ky.; Nashville; Oklahoma City; and Providence, R.I., are among the large urban school districts having trouble finding teachers, according to the Council of the Great City Schools, which represents large urban districts. Just one month before the opening of classes, Charlotte, N.C., was desperately trying to fill 200 vacancies.
Nationwide, many teachers were laid off during the recession, but the situation was particularly acute in California, which lost 82,000 jobs in schools from 2008 to 2012, according to Labor Department figures. This academic year, districts have to fill 21,500 slots, according to estimates from the California Department of Education, while the state is issuing fewer than 15,000 new teaching credentials a year.
"We are no longer in a layoff situation," said Monica Vasquez, chief human resources officer for the San Francisco Unified School District, which offered early contracts to 140 teachers last spring in a bid to secure candidates before other districts snapped them up. "But there is an impending teacher shortage," Ms. Vasquez added, before correcting herself: "It’s not impending. It’s here."
With state budgets rallying after the recession, spending on public schools is slowly recovering, helping to fuel some of the hiring. In California, Gov. Jerry Brown persuaded voters in 2012 to pass a sales and income tax measure that raised funding for public schools.
But educators say that during the recession and its aftermath prospective teachers became wary of accumulating debt or training for jobs that might not exist. As the economy has recovered, college graduates have more employment options with better pay and a more glamorous image, like in a rebounding technology sector.
Ms. Vasquez would most likely agree that______.
选项
A、we are still in a layoff situation
B、schools begin to hire teachers early
C、the teacher shortage will happen in the future
D、the recession is making the situation worse
答案
B
解析
细节题。根据题干关键词Ms.Vasquez定位至第四段。A项“我们仍然处于裁员的局面”与第一句We are no longer in a layoff situation相反,故排除。B项“学校开始提前录用教师”与…offered early contracts to 140 teachers last spring in a bid to secure candidates before other districts snapped them up相符,为正确答案。C项“教师短缺将会在未来发生”和D项“经济衰退正在使情况恶化”与原文意思不符,故排除。
