Our state’s public schools are facing critical teacher shortages and longer term teaching vacancies. At the same time, enrollment in the state’s teacher preparation programs continue to lag. In response, state leaders have been looking at ways to expand the teacher pipeline including recruiting more out-of-state teachers and adding new pathways to teaching careers. This week we talk with several education leaders who are at the center of these efforts to discuss the challenges and the most promising solutions.

•Dr. Aaron Fleming, Superintendent, Harnett County Schools

•Dr. Anthony Graham, Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, Winston-Salem State University
