Making the Case for Becoming a Teacher: Closing the Parity Gap in Recruitment
Abstract

Part of these efforts means initiating recruitment efforts in junior and high schools. Included in these recruiting efforts is work around changing the narrative around teaching as a potential career. Here we share working with junior high school students to examine their perceptions of teachers in order to work towards closing the parity gap with recruiting efforts.
