Education Matters

Most of you watching today know children who are in our schools right now. We’ve talked a great deal with educators and students themselves about the challenges and promising moments of this year. On today’s show, we will talk with three elementary school principals about how our kids and educators are doing – and what we need to consider as we wind down the school year. We want to note how significant and often thankless the role of our principals has been during these past two-plus years of the pandemic. Research tells us that principals are the second, only to teachers, school-related factor that influences student outcomes. Please stay tuned to hear from principals Sandy Chambers, Suzanne Owen, and Adrian Parry. You will not want to miss this discussion.

RT @nckhui If you compare the 2018-19 & 2022-23 school years, there's been a 200% increase in the number of North Carolina teacher vacancies on the 40th day of classes. In 2018-19, there were 1,698.05 vacancies. That figure has tripled to 5,091.46 vacancies this school year. #nced #ncpol pic.twitter.com/UUu2sFCwC3

#NCED "There are a lot of stakeholders in public education and no one wants to feel ignored. However, if we do not prioritize the voice of school’s main stakeholders, their students, we’re missing the point," writes @maryannwolfed. Read more: ncforum.org/2023/the-final…
