Recognizing the critical role teachers and principals play in producing students who are highly skilled and able to compete in a global economy, the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) today released a new report aimed at helping governors attract and retain the most effective educators. Building a High-Quality Education Workforce: A Governor’s Guide to Human Capital Development highlights innovative, integrated approaches states can use to address human capital challenges and bolster the education workforce.

“Effective, well-trained teachers and principals are vital to the success of students in every state,” said NGA Chair Pennsylvania Gov. Edward Rendell. “To improve student achievement and outcomes, states must invest strategically in our education workforce.”
