Delaware Teacher and Administrator Supply and Demand Survey Analysis 2013

Abstract
The 2013 Teacher and Administrator Supply and Demand Survey is an online survey completed by school district personnel directors and charter school administrators. The data were collected through the Delaware Department of Education’s DEEDs system in January and February 2013 for the 2012-2013 school year. The survey was conducted by the University of Delaware’s Institute for Public Administration in conjunction with the Delaware Department of Education (DOE). This is the eleventh year of the study. The study focuses on teacher hiring; teacher hiring difficulties; recruitment strategies and incentives; the reasons for teachers leaving, vacancies, and shortage areas; hiring for non-teaching positions; and administrative hiring and vacancies. New topic areas include hiring of inexperienced teachers, hiring in high-needs schools, the opinions of respondents on attractive features found in their school district or charter school, financial incentives used for recruitment and retention, and retirement projections.
