What is the Impact of the GPO and WEP on the Teaching Profession?
The GPO and WEP impact teacher recruitment efforts. Individuals who have worked in other careers are less likely to want to become teachers if doing so will mean a loss of Social Security benefits they have earned. Retired teachers are reluctant to return to teaching to help fill urgent needs because of the impact of the GPO and WEP. Current teachers are likely to leave the profession to reduce the penalty they will incur upon retirement.
