Joe Bishop introduces Our Children Can't Wait podcast series about the systems and structures that keep our kids from flourishing with the help of the educator and researcher Dr. Tyrone Howard.
Dr. Howard interviews Joe about his inspiration for the book and podcast. After years of observing a professional disconnect between education issues and students’ living situations and environments, Joe wanted to create a policy playbook compiled by the top experts in the country to showcase how policy includes more than standards, teacher preparation, higher education, and accountability.
Who are policymakers? What happens when we set standards for helping one another? Why are we scared to see ourselves as policy shapers?
