Infographic: A Good Teacher Can Change Everything

We’re all too familiar with the teacher shortage affecting school districts around the world. Simply put, there are not enough teachers to keep up with the growing student population. So, outside of forcing college students to major in education, what can school administrators and K12 recruiters do to hire quality teachers?
