Schoolhouse Talk is a new Internet radio show that connects and engages people of all walks of life who care about public education. It’s simple and easy to use.

This first-of-its-kind radio program will bring together people on the front lines of education – classroom leaders, policymakers, advocates, parents, students and communities – to discuss, consider and address the most important public education issues of our time.

The show runs live each Wednesday at 3:00 pm ET. You will also need a phone if you want to call-in with questions. Each episode of the show can be downloaded from the website and through iTunes after it airs.

Schoolhouse Talk informs listeners about what’s happening in public education in Washington, DC and around the country; allows listeners to share information about schools in their own communities; and provides new on-line tools to share education reports, publications and resources.

The free hour-long radio show features:

• live interviews with key education policy makers
• a news round-up summarizing weekly education events
• stories about new and innovative approaches to public education
• call-in opportunities for anyone who wants their voice to be heard on education issues.

Communities for Quality Education, a national education advocacy group, created Schoolhouse Talk to make it easier for people to participate in the policy debate about the future of public education.
