KCEA on the Heartland Labor Forum

On Thursday, February 24, the Kansas City Education Alliance was generously given the first half of the weekly program the Heartland Labor Forum on KKFI 90.1 FM to cover the protests in Wisconsin and their effects for Kansas and Missouri. Jason Zimmerman and Amy McAninch were able to interview David Schauner of the Kansas National Education Association and David Ahrens of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.


The KCEA's segments run from the 8 to 30 and 50 to 55 minute marks. We look forward to our next radio feature next month!

KCEA Radio Broadcast Premiere

Thursday, January 27, 2011, the Kansas City Education Alliance debuted its first in a series of monthly radio broadcasts on KKFI 90.1 FM radio in Kansas City!  KCEA will be posting each radio spot on this website for archival access.
This week's segment offers a discussion of what educational "reform" really means and attempts to problematize the idea of quick fixes and one-size fits all solutions.  Below is a link to the article cited in this week's broadcast from Adam Bessie.
