Welcome to the KSDE Insight Podcast, where we explore the people, policies, and progress shaping education in Kansas.
In this episode, From Slate to Screen: The Journey of Public Education, we take a step back in time to better understand how we got here.
Education in Kansas has come a long way — from one-room schoolhouses with slate boards to the dynamic, technology-driven classrooms of today. But to truly grasp the current landscape of Kansas public education, we must examine the policies, reforms, and pivotal moments that have shaped it. How have legislative shifts, and societal changes influenced our schools? And what lessons can we take from history as we navigate the future of education?
Join us as we uncover the journey of Kansas education, exploring the challenges, triumphs, and transformative policies that have paved the way for today’s students and educators.
This month's guests are Dr. Deb Mercer, dean of Kansas State University's College of Education, and Mark Tallman, associate executive director of educational advocacy for Kansas Association of School Boards.
