The survey backs up previous research illustrating that the teacher shortage is not going away in the immediate future.
The Horace Mann survey polled 573 educators, including K-12 teachers, administrators and support personnel in November.
Teacher shortages are showing signs of worsening in several states, lately including Minnesota, Colorado and South Dakota. For instance, 85% of educators in Colorado said teacher shortages are significantly or somewhat worse now compared to previous years, according to a Colorado Education Association survey.
