Before Arizona can fix its teacher recruitment issues, they have to address an even bigger problem: the fact that almost half of all teachers quit within three years.

Schools in this state are having a hard time filling the many vacancies with qualified teachers. The Education Cliff podcast series explores these issues and the role community colleges and other organizations are playing in finding solutions.
