Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Savoy Elementary School in Washington, D.C. in 2007.
D.C. Schools Chancellor Kaya Henderson recently released a budget with changes in a range of areas, from new approaches to teacher training and evaluation to a year-round academic calendar for struggling schools. But Washington Teachers’ Union President Elizabeth Davis says the changes were decided without input from the union or the teachers it represents. We speak to her about the changes, and what she feels are the biggest challenges for the District’s teachers.
Guests
- Elizabeth Davis President, Washington Teachers' Union
