Abstract: This report identifies which certification areas represent the greatest need among teachers statewide. Using the information provided below, the recommended High Demand Teacher Needs Areas for the 2026-27 school year are as follows: (1) Exceptional Student Education (ESE); (2) Math; (3) English; (4) Science - General; (5) Science - Physical; (6) Science - Earth & Space; and (7) English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). These high-demand areas represent certification areas where larger than typical proportions of teachers who are not certified in the appropriate field are being hired to teach courses where significant vacancies exist and where postsecondary institutions do not produce enough graduates to meet the needs of Florida's K-12 student population. This information can be used to determine the projected needs for specific subject area coverages in the upcoming school year.
