Using the information provided below, the recommended High Demand Teacher Needs Areas for the 2026-27 school year are as follows:  \n􀁸 Exceptional Student Education (ESE)  \n􀁸 Math  \n􀁸 English  \n􀁸 Science-General  \n􀁸 Science-Physical  \n􀁸 Science-Earth & Space  \n􀁸 English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)  \nThe high-demand areas above represent certification areas where larger than typical proportions of teachers who are not certified in the appropriate field are being hired to teach courses where significant vacancies exist and where postsecondary institutions do not produce enough graduates to meet the needs of Florida’s K-12 student population. This information can be used to determine the projected needs for specific subject area coverages in the upcoming school year. It should be noted that it is not a direct measure of the number of new teachers needed to staff Florida’s schools. The process used to determine these High Demand Teacher Needs Areas is presented below.  \nBackground  \nSection (s. ) 1012.07, Florida Statutes (F.S. ), requires the State Board of Education (SBE) to annually identify High Demand Teacher Needs Areas based on the recommendations of the Commissioner of Education. This statute, promulgated in SBE Rule 6A-20 .0131, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C. ), specifies that the list of high-demand areas identify high-need content areas and high-priority location areas using the following information:  \n1. The number and percentage of positions in each discipline filled by teachers not certified in the appropriate field;  \n2. The annual supply of graduates of state-approved Florida teacher education programs for each discipline;  \n3. The number and percentage of vacant positions in each teaching discipline; and  \n4. High Demand Teacher Needs Areas which may be identified pursuant to rules adopted by district school boards. These areas shall be identified based on consideration of at least the information specified in items one through three above and submitted to the Department of Education no later than June 1st of each year.  \nAdditionally, ss. 1012. 22(1)(c)4 . b. and 1012.22(1)(c)5 .c. (III), F.S., include provisions requiring local school districts to incorporate High Demand Teacher Needs Areas into both their grandfathered and performance salary schedules.  \nDetermining High-Demand Areas  \nThe High Demand Teacher Needs Areas for 2026-27 were determined using information provided in Exhibits 3 through 5. The Department used the information in each of the exhibits to create rankings for each measure in Exhibit 1.1 Rankings were then averaged across all measures to produce the final rankings.  \nIn Exhibit 1 below, the shaded and bolded subject fields indicate the recommended 2026-27 High Demand Teacher Needs  \nAreas. The final column in Exhibit 1,“Final Rank,” shows that ESE was in first place with an average rank of 4 .33, followed by Math, English, Science-General, Science-Physical, Science-Earth & Space and ESOL as High Demand Teacher Needs Areas. Please note that the percentage of courses taught by teachers not certified in the appropriate field for the course and the projected vacancies are based on data reported by school districts while the ratio of completers to vacancies utilize data reported by teacher preparation programs.  \nExhibit 1 – Summary of High Demand Teacher Need Rankings for 2026-27  \n\n| Certification Area | Rank Based on % of Courses Taught by Teachers Not Certified in the Appropriate Field for the Course | Rank Based on Projected Vacancies | Rank Based on Ratio of Completersto Vacancies | Average Rank | Rank | Final Rank |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| ESE | 2 | 10 | 1 | 4.33 | 1 | 1 |  |\n| Math | 4 | 9 | 3 | 5.33 | 2 | 2 |  |\n| English | 1 | 12 ","cbCaia6lPoGRpttQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaia6lPoGRpttQ","pdf",2033139,65,"English","# Background\n## Legal requirements and data sources\n# Determining High-Demand Areas\n## Ranking methodology using Exhibits 3–5 and Exhibit 1\n# Summary of High Demand Teacher Need Rankings for 2026-27\n## Recommended areas and ranking notes","[{\"question\":\"Which certification areas are recommended as High Demand Teacher Needs Areas for 2026-27?\",\"answer\":\"ESE, Math, English, Science-General, Science-Physical, Science-Earth \\u0026 Space, and ESOL are listed as the recommended High Demand Teacher Needs Areas for 2026-27.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the report determine High Demand Teacher Needs Areas?\",\"answer\":\"The Department uses information in Exhibits 3 through 5 to create rankings for each measure in Exhibit 1, then averages rankings across measures to produce final rankings.\"},{\"question\":\"What data inputs support the ranking measures in Exhibit 1?\",\"answer\":\"Rankings are based on the percentage of courses taught by teachers not certified in the appropriate field, projected vacancies, and the ratio of completers to vacancies, using data reported by districts and teacher preparation programs.\"}]","Identification of High Demand Teacher Needs Areas for 2026-27 - Recommended High Demand Teacher Needs Areas | PDF",1792050636,164]
