More than 200 classrooms in Miami Dade County Public Schools began the 2022-23 academic school year without an assigned teacher. The University of Miami, in partnership with Achieve Miami and Teach for America, developed the Teacher Accelerator Program to combat the teacher shortage by guaranteeing undergraduate seniors a teaching position in Miami Dade Public Schools after a one semester course and summer internship. “If you are living in this country, any child, every child should have access to a quality education, no matter their background, no matter their zip code.” Leslie Miller-Saiontz, founder and president of Achieve Miami and the TAP program, said.
The COVID-19 lockdown changed the way instruction was carried out and the way students had to learn. Even with schools heading back to in-person education, there is a need for more teachers and other school personnel. Education experts weigh in on the causes and effects.
