She said many students who are from Washington County want to work locally, which narrows their opportunities for teaching jobs. Sabey said she knew an education graduate who was working in a grocery store because she didn't want to look for jobs outside the Washington County School District.

Sabey said the DSU education department hosts a support group for education graduates to talk about their concerns in the first few years of their careers. Sabey said she also emphasizes the importance of practicum courses, where education' students visit classrooms in the community. "We have our students out in the schools the moment they're accepted into the program," Sabey said. "Probably one of the best things we can do to make sure our students have a clear picture of what it means to be a teacher before they graduate." ,, !h, I ' - t 1 , ; ,, kj ',,,,,,,i 1 ' ,s, .. 1 1 I t I k, i 1 f 1 - ; , L r- II , , 7 ',. ai k, 1 !k- 1 -- , t t ,, 1 't..,, N-,,,- ,' Nv,...,, i , -' i it for her to move out of the area."

"I always think there will be a need for teachers somewhere because there will always be children," Condie said. "California and Nevada are the top two places it seems Utah teachers go to if they can't get a job here."
