Checking in with education leaders

For the past couple of months, BoardBuzz has commended the Learning First Alliance for their engaging interviews with education professionals, leaders, and celebrities that help to keep us up-to-date on the most recent education news. Now, we are reliving the excitement as Public School Insights has recently added the transcripts from the interviews we have enjoyed so much.

If you missed them the first time, take a minute and read about these interesting developments that Public School Insights has shared:

Best-selling author Dave Eggers tells us about his plans for a documentary on the professional lives of teachers;

Teacher Simon Hauger describes how he and his students at urban West Philadelphia High School created the world's first high-performance hybrid car;

World-record breaking polar explorer Will Steger talks about the importance of environmental education

Fitness guru Richard Simmons shares his plan to get physical education into American public schools

Principal Tamala Newsome tells us about her groundbreaking green public school in Portland.

BoardBuzz is happy to enjoy them again and hopes you find the time to check them out and share what you think. Special thanks to the Learning First Alliance for always keeping us informed!
