## Resource

Texas is facing a teacher shortage not because people aren’t willing to teach, but because many are stepping into classrooms without full preparation. A state law that gave districts hiring freedom helped bring more educators in — but sometimes at the cost of experience. The real fix? Better training. Texas Tech’s new residency programs are turning the tide by letting future teachers gain real classroom experience before certification, building confidence and readiness to thrive — and stay — in education.
