Tomorrow’s Teachers | Recruit, (re)train, and retain

September 07, 2023

As the nation prepares for a significant election, education has become a primary concern. It’s not just parents who are worried about failing education outcomes for our children and young people. However, amidst campaign promises and political drama, we have focused more on symptoms than root causes. Maxim Institute’s latest discussion paper, “Tomorrow’s teachers: recruit, (re)train, and retain,” addresses the heart of the matter: teacher training. On the podcast today, we talk to the paper’s author, Maryanne Spurdle, about why she has chosen to dig into this issue, what she discovered, and how we can help recruit, train, and retain our teachers for the betterment of our children and our nation.

Join us as we highlight some of the more thought-provoking aspects of our column, talk about the critical issues, and listen to the column read by the author.
