Book Description

This research report examines changes in FTE teachers, FTE administrators, and teacher-administrator ratios, drawing on two data sources over two time periods. The Ministry of Education collects statistics about administrators from two different data sources. Teacher Statistics, an annual report published by the ministry uses data collected in Forms 2001 and 2003. Form 1530: FTE Employees by Program collects data to assist school districts in planning staffing levels and for budgeting purposes. Administrators are defined differently in each data collection form. Each of these measures provides unique insights into changes in the employment of school-based and district-level administrators. A glossary is included. Appended are: (1) Teacher/Administrator Ratio: 2004-205 to 2008-09 (FTE Public Schools only); and (2) Teacher/Administrator Ratios, 2001-02 and 2007-08--Form 1530 data. (Contains 3 tables and 5 footnotes.).
