from Educate Me! · host Mark Turner

Are we doing enough to support the seeming disparity in public education? Are students in poverty penalized by our current structures and assessments? What happens if AI replaces teachers? These questions and others are thoughtfully posed and explored by Dr. Zach Conrad (https://www.linkedin.com/in/zach-conrad-89abb9a/), Director of Evaluation, Research, Assessments & Technology and Informational Services, at Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools (https://www.linkedin.com/company/kansas-city-kansas-public-schools/). Genuinely, one of the most fun and thought-provoking eps we've recorded to date, as Zach transparently shares his shortcomings as a student, before fearlessly tackling his misgivings re: how we're seeing and supporting students in public education today. A fascinating 'must listen!' episode!
