NCPI’s director, Matthew Springer, was a featured guest on WHRV’s HearSay with Cathy Lewis, a public affairs radio show broadcast to more than 35,000 listeners in Virginia and North Carolina. The show focused on “today’s teacher” and the looming retirement of baby boomers, salary discrepancies, what schools are doing to recruit and retain teachers, and the role of high-stakes accountability programs in education. Other guests included two local superintendents, the head of a “career switcher” program at a local university to get more educators into the teaching workforce, and a Virginia teacher who is in the running for National Teacher of the Year.
