The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) announced the launch of a $6 million comprehensive statewide teacher recruitment campaign in English and Spanish aimed at addressing critical shortages in the teaching profession across the state, especially in bilingual education, special education, and in rural and urban community areas. The campaign, titled “The Answer is Teaching,” is inspired by the heartfelt stories and experiences of dedicated teachers across the state. ISBE has received more than 1,750 inquiries from prospective future teachers since the campaign launched on July 1. The Illinois Association of Regional Superintendents released a survey report showing over 90 percent of schools in the state reported having issues with teacher shortages in the 2023-24 school year. Shortages disproportionately affect students needing special education and bilingual education services, exacerbating disparities in educational access and outcomes. “The Answer is Teaching” utilizes a multifaceted approach, including materials in English and Spanish, to reach potential teachers throughout the state via digital platforms, targeted advertising, and partnerships with educational institutions and community organizations.
