There was a time when educators could count on being granted their license and then spending the rest of their career in a single state, district, or even school. More and more often this is no longer the case. As the economy changes, the teaching force continues to evolve. This is amplified by the fact that the distribution of teachers is not even across the country. While many communities, mostly urban, are experiencing shortages of teachers, others have a surplus. Teachers in areas with a surplus may well move to an area with a shortage, gain experience, and then apply in their desired state once they are more established.
