Description
Arizona teacher recruitment, retention and pay are at crisis levels with more teachers leaving the profession annually than bachelor of education degrees produced by the three universities, compounded by an exodus of instructors for reasons ranging from retirement to poor salaries. Those are just some of the data points and facts in the Morrison Institute for Public Policy report, Finding & Keeping Educators for Arizona’s Classrooms. The report includes extensive data provided by the Arizona Department of Education, as well as federal data on labor markets and educational statistics and Morrison Institute’s exclusive survey of teachers from throughout Arizona. MI Senior Policy Analyst Dan Hunting was the principal researcher.

Description
Voters, Media & Social Networks presents new research suggesting that even with political polarization, connectivity through social networks – especially via independent voters, who are at ease interacting with both Republicans and Democrats – can provide an indirect moderation, if not expansion, of consumed media sources. The Morrison Institute for Public Policy study shows how social networks provide a conduit for communication shared between various voters regarding elements of news and issues that otherwise might have been omitted or ignored by their individual media of choice. The report, funded by Arizona Citizens Clean Elections Commission, included findings from a pre-election statewide poll of registered voters and post-election focus groups.

Description
This is the third in a series of briefs in which Morrison Institute for Public Policy will report on selected aspects of Arizona’s child welfare system.
Spotlight on Arizona’s Kids is intended to help state leaders, child advocates, and others develop the most effective prevention strategies.
Morrison Institute’s first white paper discussed the less visible but more common side of child maltreatment: neglect. Our second white paper discussed family conditions that can influence a family’s subtle “drift” towards unsafe situations that often correlate with neglect and examined how the different types of prevention might help interrupt the “drift into failure.”
This paper analyzes Arizona Department of Child Safety data to identify the prevalence of various types of neglect in Arizona reports. Future papers will research, analyze and discuss prevention services in Arizona and elsewhere, with an emphasis on best practices.
These collective efforts are intended to help state leaders, child advocates and others discuss and identify the most-effective child abuse and neglect prevention strategies.
Spotlight on Arizona’s Kids is funded by the Arizona Community Foundation.
