Local students explore teaching as Virginia vacancies decline

FISHERSVILLE — Walking into a classroom full of students who are considering being teachers delighted Ryan Barber. The Waynesboro assistant superintendent was part of a group that answered questions from students in the Teachers for Tomorrow programs at Valley Career and Technical Center and the Shenandoah Valley Governor's School in Fishersville at the end of October. It was the second straight year the panel of superintendents and central office was hosted by the programs, giving students a chance to ask questions of those in leadership positions in Augusta County, Staunton and Waynesboro. Barber believes programs like Teachers for Tomorrow can plant seeds that hopefully grow in the years to come, eventually producing more and more teachers in area classrooms. Part of Barber's job is recruiting and hiring staff for Waynesboro Public Schools. Finding teachers is never easy, although according to the The Virginia Department of Education the numbers are improving. Since 2023, teacher vacancies across Virginia have dropped by almost 36% . In Region 5, which includes the Shenandoah Valley, the teacher vacancy rate is 1.4%, lower than the state rate of 2.5%. Those are good signs and programs like Teachers for Tomorrow can help identify students who are interested
