      The 2007 Hawai'i State Legislature passed Senate Concurrent Resolution 56 S.D. 1 "Requesting the Hawaii Educational Policy Center to Report on the Retention and Change in Assignment of Teachers Within the Department of Education." The resolution requested a report on the effectiveness and current status of teacher preparation and induction-mentoring programs. SCR 56 S.D. 1 also called for a five-year strategic plan that targets future resources for capacity building within the University of Hawai'i system and Department of Education induction-mentoring programs and other strategies to dramatically reduce the annual teacher shortage and recruit teachers that are more likely to continue employment within the Department of Education beyond five years. No funding was provided to HEPC for the study. The Hawai'i Educational Policy Center (HEPC) formed an ad hoc response team with available resources and personnel to collect and analyze available data and begin to answer some of the requests of SCR 56 S. D. 1. A preliminary report was provided to legislators on October 29, 2007 in which the data and emerging promising strategies and conclusions were discussed by several of the major stakeholders. This interim report reflects an "initial" effort to respond to the requests in SCR 56 S.D. 1 based primarily on publicly available data sources. As a result, not all the requests in Senate Concurrent Resolution 56 S.D. 1 could be honored in this report. HEPC will continue to collect data on teacher workforce development as called for in SCR 56 S.D. 1 during 2008 and will report regularly to the Legislature on its findings and recommendations.
