Abstract	Missouri is struggling with teacher shortages. In its public schools, which serve nearly 900,000 students, shortages have typically been concentrated in urban and rural areas, and in content areas of special education, math, and science. Recently, however, shortages have begun broadly impacting more schools in more parts of the state and more content areas. Some of this shortage can be attributed to declining numbers of teacher candidates entering and graduating from certification programs, however teacher attrition is a contributing factor as well. To address these challenges and strengthen the workforce, Missouri is taking steps to recruit, support, and retain teachers. The State Board of Education established a commission focused on teacher recruitment and retention, and nearly $55 million has been directed toward recruitment and retention grants to directly address the supply and demand issues of teachers in the state. This article examines how Missouri centers professional learning in its plan to recruit and retain teachers. (ERIC).
