 Forecast –
 ascertain the supply and demand of teachers of various expertise
 predict the areas where there will be future shortages or surplus
 Can use statistical or judgemental methods

 Determining teacher demand

 Developed around the specific job categories or skill areas relevant to the
current and future state
 Need to get info whether the need for teachers in those job categories or with
those skills will increase or decrease in the future
 Information is gathered statistically from historical records – e.g. by looking at
the birth rate or by looking at the average age of teachers
 Judgemental method is often used when unexpected issues arise
 Determining teacher supply
 Calls for a detailed analysis of how many people are currently in the teaching
job, based on job categories and skills or areas
 Using the transitional matrices, one can statistically determine teacher supply
based on teacher categories
 Teacher surplus or shortage can be determined by categories or areas of
expertise once the demand and supply are identified

 Goal setting and strategic planning
 Is based on analysis of supply and demand
 Must include:
 specific figure for what should happen
 Specific timetable for when objectives or goals should be
achieved
 The final step in planning is to evaluate the HR status – whether
the district/state has successfully avoid teacher surplus or
shortages.
 It is also important to go beyond this diagnostic, i.e., by looking
at the specific parts of the planning process contributed to
failure or success.
