Through interviews with notable educators, researchers, authors, students and government leaders, the program seeks to clarify the often-polarizing conversations surrounding education today – frequently delving into important topics well-before the popular press. These include learning to read, restorative justice, Latinas in higher education, news literacy, and the impact of COVID-19 on students.
