Despite the large number of graduates from the faculties of education, the number of accredited teachers for kindergartens is noticeably few, which leads to a shortage of specialized teachers, especially in areas that suffer from a lack of funding. Experts find out that too many non-academic tasks a teacher is being asked to do takes away their teaching or planning time, leaving the teacher fatigued and underachieved. 

There is no doubt that good teachers are the backbone of successful kindergartens. If you are short of qualified teachers, here are 6 tips to keep in mind when a teacher does not apply for your announced jobs:

1. Announce your job vacancies far and wide 

It may seem obvious, but if people don’t know about your employment opportunities, they won’t apply. Reach out to colleges with education programs, to see if some of their fresh graduates are looking for jobs. 

2. Find out if any of the on-vacation teachers are ready to go back to the classroom

Some experts are of the opinion that on-vacation teachers may be willing to work for sometime especially if they are on long vacations.. While hiring on-vacation teachers is by no means a long-term solution, it can be an effective way to solve temporary staffing problems without sacrificing classroom experience. 

3. Find out if any of the administrators might be qualified for this job 

Ten years ago, certified teachers would sometimes accept non-academic jobs in the hope that if a class teacher job became available, they would be able to seize it. Find out if you have any teachers on your team working as assistants or administrators. They may love the opportunity to move into the classroom.

 

4. Make the job more attractive

 It is important to be sure that a good teacher is your way to the success of your kindergarten, and to be able to employ such people and retain their services for a longer time, you need to make the job agreement with them tempting to achieve their hopes in a rewarding salary and attractive career incentives. 

5. Change job responsibilities

 Talk to your current employees about what might cause them and their colleagues to quit their jobs earlier. You may find that the job is not sustainable, so it is important that you use the requirements of your current vacancy as a starting point to develop the concept and make the job responsibilities way clearer and easier.
