April's Education Matters:

Inside the Teaching Profession

What are the challenges and rewards of teaching? How can classroom effectiveness be evaluated? What can be done to attract and retain good teachers? On this month's show, a panel of experts—including three practicing teachers—explore answers to these important questions.
