The Dropout Nation Podcast: Replace the Broken Engines of Education

On this week’s Dropout Nation Podcast, I explain why we can’t simply “improve” American public education or count on one silver bullet to overhaul a failed system. We must replace our Model T and broken pocket watch system of educating children with one that will help all kids succeed.

You can listen to the Podcast at RiShawn Biddle’s radio page or download directly to your iPod, Zune, MP3 player, smartphone, Nook Color or Kindle.  Also, subscribe to the podcast series. It is also available on iTunes, Blubrry, the Education Podcast Network,  Zune Marketplace and PodBean. Also download to your phone with BlackBerry podcast software and Google Reader.
