Brittney Cummins on teacher salaries, lasting effects from the pandemic, and preparing graduates for the world

Utah's First Lady, Abby Cox, is joined by Brittney Cummins (Senior Advisor for Education to Governor Cox) to talk about Brittney's childhood growing up in England, what inspired her to pursue education, as well as some of the most rewarding and challenging aspects of being an educator.

We also dive into the need to come together as teachers and parents to help create the best learning environment for the student, some of the best ways to get involved with your local education community, and how teacher salaries are calculated in the state.

Then we talk about the state's work in equalization efforts that bring more equality to generating local tax revenue throughout the districts, how to address some of the trauma that has been introduced to our students and teachers due to the pandemic, and some of the qualities that districts are trying to engrain into students to help set them up for success in the real world.

The books talked about this week are:

The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration by Isabel Wilkerson

Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann
