Over the summer, OEA invited members to share their feedback on the Public Education Matters podcast and on podcasts in general to help shape this new season. We’ve taken your feedback to heart, and based on your responses, we are moving back to shorter episodes and back to a weekly format. At your request, we’re working to bring you more practical content on everything from AI in the classroom to discounts you can’t afford to miss. And those are just a couple of the episodes we have in the works in the next couple of months alone! New episodes drop every Thursday morning this season. As always, Public Education Matters is designed to be your source for insightful conversations with the people who are shaping Ohio’s public education landscape every day. Make sure you subscribe to Public Education Matters on your favorite platform, so you don’t miss an episode this season!
