Listen "Classroom Absence: Need for Substitute Teachers"

Episode Synopsis

Where are the substitute teachers in Michigan? Do new laws prevent retirees from returning to the classrooms to fill temporary vacancies? Or is it a lack of supply in response to demand? New Michigan State University research from Nathan Burroughs, Ph.D., senior research associate in the College of Education, outlines the need. He's joined by podcast regulars Arnold Weinfeld, associate IPPSR director, and Charles Ballard, director of IPPSR's State of the State Survey. And with them is IPPSR Director Matt Grossmann returning from sabbatical.
