Appendix
DKG Editorial Board Research Survey*
*For this article, response areas are shortened in the interest of space. In the
actual survey, respondents had ample space to reply to questions.

For an article to be published in the fall 2023 issue of the Delta Kappa Gamma
Bulletin (working title of article: Where Have All the Teachers Gone? What Can
DKG Do about It?), the Editorial Board is seeking help from state organization
leaders, chapter presidents, and members in general as we assess teacher shortages
across the Society and consider what is being done and could be done to support,
mentor, and recruit teachers. Support for Early-career Educators projects are
certainly important, but other groups—veteran, preservice, and even prospective
teachers—may also benefit from our efforts and expertise.
The goal of this survey and the subsequent article is to collect and share best practices
and innovative ideas that can be replicated or adapted by others within DKG and
across the education profession. To that end, the survey includes sections on Best
Practices as well as Potential Practices. If you have nothing to share in a category,
select NONE and then move to the next section.
If you have questions, contact Editorial Board Member Dr. Dorrie Powell -
