Teachers are the backbone of the state’s education system. However, there are more than 2,000 teacher vacancies in Tennessee and the start of the new school year is only weeks away.
This Is Nashville is planning an episode checking in with local teachers. If you are a current educator, we want to hear from you to help shape the show. How are you feeling about the next school year, and what are your greatest concerns? What’s something you think parents should know about your job? Have you ever considered leaving the profession?
Teachers can submit their responses in the box below. Teachers who recently left education are also welcome to share.
