Join us as Dr. Sabrina Laine (National Comprehensive Center for Teacher Quality), Dr. Suzanne M. Wilson (Center for the Scholarship of Teaching, Michigan State University), and Dr. Susan Bunch (Assistant Commissioner, Tennessee State Department of Education), and others discuss the topic. Register now.
