LEARNING ABOUT EDUCATION

Guests:  Tim Slekar, PhD, Dean of the School of Education, Edgewood College; Jed Hopkins, PhD, Associate Professor of Education, Edgewood College




What are the real issues in education today? Cost vs. Benefit? Private vs. Public? Accountability vs. Responsibility? Standardized testing or furthering knowledge? Career-readiness or developing inquiring minds? And why is the achievement gap so wide in Wisconsin?  These are some of the questions Tim Slekar, PhD and Jed Hopkins, PhD, take on in this stimulating and thought-provoking conversation.
