ABSTRACT Data presented in this document are primarily from

the 1978-79 Graduate Placement Report with additional information from the 1977-78 Report and the Michigan Teacher Supply and Demand Interim Report 1980. The Graduate Placement Report provides information on the employment status of 4,619 (72 percent) of the graduates who completed programs at 30 Michigan teacher education institutions and received provisional teaching certificates from July 1978 to June 1979. In a discussion of the findings it is shown that full-time teaching positions were held by 63 percent of the 1978-79 graduates. It is estimated that 11 percent of the graduates were seeking positions as of January 1980. Projections of teacher supply and demand by Michigan teacher education institutions, the National Center for Education Statistics, and the Association of School, College, and University Staffing indicate possible teacher shortages in the late 1980s. Appendices provide tables showing graduates by major preparation field, and categorized by race and sex in each institution. (FG)

PREFACE

The Graduate Placement Report was requested by the State Board of Education in 1977. The first of these reports described the placement status of the 1977-78..graduates and was incorporated\into the Michigan Teacher Supply and Demand Interim Report - 1980. This report on placement of the 1978-79 graduates is thus the second in this series of annual reports. It has been revised based on the experience with the first report, and is thus more accurate and contains more refined data than the 1977-78 report.

In reviewing the repibrt, it is extremely important to

note the limitations of the findings and interpretations

as described in the section on limitations. When citing

any data the limitations should always be described in

order to avoid inappropriate generalizations, misinterpre-

o_ tations, or distortions of the facts. Likewise, taking

statements out of context could seriously affect the

accuracy of interpretations being made. Citations or

reproductiormo information without full presentation of

limitations, inc

-appropriate footnotes, is not

authorized.

It also is important to be aware of factors which could significantly alter the situation in subsequent years. The economic conditions are an important influence on hiring of teachers. This could radically change the rate of placement of first year teachers in the next year. The number of lay-offs has already increased from 590 in 1977-78 to 905 in 1979-80. Any assumptions about future years must be tempered with an understanding of the influence of changing economic conditions.
