Shortages worsening, San Antonio schools look for ways to repair broken teacher pipeline
A week before the 18 dual-language students in Ileana Santiago’s second grade class took their holiday break, they were paying close attention, raising their hands to pick out words on the board with that day’sBut Santiago, a teacher for 17 years, was in the background. She had ceded the Vineyard Ranch Elementary School classroom to Tere Zamarron, a student teacher who had spent a year watching Santiago and absorbing the fine art of getting students to learn while having fun.
At Vineyard Ranch Elementary, student teacher Tere Zamarron shares a hug with her mentor, second-grade teacher Ileana Santiago. Zamarron finished her work there in December and got certified to teach — but was already hired by North East ISD to take over a kindergarten class in January.
“For my clinical year, there’s not a lot of time to work. There’s assignments, you are all day in the school, you get out, you are tired, and you still have classes,” Zamarron said. But it didn’t result in higher numbers of graduates of the three-year program, which includes a yearlong internship at a school. Just the opposite: Between 2019 and 2021, graduations decreased, from 114 to just 51, as completion rates dropped annually, from 92 percent to 22 percent.
In short, the trend lines of university and alternative programs have crossed each other, but the total output, seen across the past decade, is fewer new teachers — bad news for administrators of school systems emerging from a damaging pandemic. San Antonio ISD has averaged about 60 teacher vacancies in the fall semester, far less than the shortfall of about 150 it experienced at the start of the 2021-22 school year.San Antonio’s latest pandemic heroes: workers covering for each other at public schools
