EDUCVIII with DR. JEFFERSON is the talk show that makes the connections between research, policies, and practitioners that are too often missing from the American education system.



On this show, you hear about facts concerning the teaching and learning process backed by empirical studies. The intentions behind federal, state, and local mandates will be explored, and/or exposed. You\'ll learn what is really going on inside of school buildings that is seldom shared with parents and the public at large. All this and more is discussed during the program.



Experts with courage and integrity are invited to offer their insights on topics ranging from pre-school through college; struggling students to honor roll; special education to gifted and talented; and Americans with disabilities to scholar-athletes. Hot topics in education are the lead-in to each show, and listeners are welcome to call in to ask questions of the host or special guests. Friends of the show can also initiate discussions on any issue that has an impact on education.



Do you believe in corporal punishment? Does a runaway child need special services? Has school integration and busing been effective? Should children be left back? Are all bullies suffering from low self-esteem? Are leaders born or made? How important are teacher expectations? Are SAT’s a reliable judge of future college success? Let Dr. Jefferson’s real life case study provide answers to these questions and many more!



Why is the rest of the developing world out performing Americans academically? What are Common Core State Standards? Why do school children take so many state exams? Are students being labeled too quickly? What does it mean to master the material? Do schools really put children first? How should teachers and principals be evaluated? EDUCVIII with DR. JEFFERSON will become the first choice for honest answers to critical issues in education.
