February 24, 2013—Public Impact Co-Director Bryan C. Hassel spoke to the nation’s governors at their 2013 Winter Meeting in Washington, DC. Appearing with AEI’s Rick Hess, Bryan gave the governors five concrete ideas for giving every student in their states excellent teachers: Get selective about who can teach your state’s children; eliminate policy barriers to excellent teachers reaching more students and leading their peers; start counting how many students have excellent teachers, by school, district & student group; declare a new civil right to excellent teachers; push average teacher pay to $100,000 – within current budgets.
