There has been a recent flurry of media reports about the national teacher shortage, but this problem is far more complex and longstanding than most reports explain. In our next USOS webinar series – Challenging the Latest Attacks on Education & Educators – we address the harsh and not-so-frequently publicized realities that exhaust our educators and force these most vital human resources out of the profession and from our public schools. The problems of moral injury, burnout, demoralization, and deprofessionalization – all of which are tied tightly to structural inequality and power – are among the themes we explore in this series. And, as always, we have asked a range of activists to share what we can do to challenge the misinformation and this latest series of attacks against our public schools.
