Building respect for the teaching profession, increasing educator pay and creating public-private partnerships to help recruit and retain teachers are a few of the initiatives suggested by leaders gathered at the White House on Wednesday to discuss solutions to the teacher shortage crisis.
″If we want to draw more bright, talented people into this field — if we want educators to be able to do what they do best — we have to give them the pay and support they deserve,” said First Lady Jill Biden, who has been a classroom teacher for more than 30 years.
