Education (Pt. 2‪)‬ The Your Utah, Your Future Podcast

Tune in for Part 2 in our series on education in Utah, which is all about teachers! In today's episode, we're doing a deep dive into one of the top challenges facing the teaching profession today—Utah’s teacher shortage. We sit down with the experts to talk about what the teacher shortage actually looks like, its' impacts across the profession, and a few of the other top challenges teachers in Utah are facing today. 
Then we look at the Vision for Teacher Excellence: a detailed analysis of the top recommendations for improving students’ outcomes in Utah, including strategies to not only stabilize the teaching profession but optimize it as well—and the right compensation is the key.
