Recruiting Teachers: In the first of a series on back-to-school issues, host David Crabtree looks at teacher recruitment.

Guests include: Norman Shearin, superintendent of Vance County Schools; and Barrett Berry, executive director of the Southeast Center for Teaching Quality; Holly Harris, third-grade teacher at D.F. Walker Elementary School in Edenton, N.C. Listener Call-In. (37:00)
