There are long-standing educator shortages in particular subject areas and localities. Recent teacher polls and reports from states and localities indicate that the COVID-19 pandemic has broadened and deepened these shortages. At the same time, enrollment in teacher preparation programs has fallen. These trends have led state policymakers, pre-K to 12 schools, and an array of other organizations to look to nontraditional models for preparing teachers, including alternative certification programs. Alternative certification programs typically provide individuals who already have a bachelor's degree with a pathway to certification that does not require them to obtain another degree. In these programs, candidates can become a "teacher of record"--taking responsibility for leading a class and often teaching without direct supervision--before completing all their certification requirements. These programs can be run by institutions of higher education (IHEs) or by other organizations. Therefore, in 2020, the Center for American Progress conducted an analysis to identify the types of organizations sponsoring these programs, the role of for-profit organizations in the sector, the states in which these programs operate, and how enrollment varies by race and/or ethnicity and gender. This report provides an updated analysis and adds historical context by examining sector trends since 2010.
