Dan Goldhaber: Research associate professor at University of Washington's Center for Reinventing Public Education. He's the author of the paper, "Teacher Pay Reforms: The Political Implications of Recent Research."

Paul Peterson: Director of the Program on Education Policy and Governance at Harvard University and Editor of Education Next.
