Abstract
Teacher shortages are apparent across Scotland, and seem to be particularly acute in rural and island areas. As a pilot project, we have worked in partnership with various local authorities, arranging student placements in rural and island areas in 2017-2018 and would like to consolidate the work in 2018-2019.
The aim is to increase the chances of a teacher working in these areas later in their career or, if the timing is appropriate, to influence the TIS preferences of the students so that they choose to name the local authority high on their list, increasing the chances of the student being allocated there and possibly entering full employment after probation.
