On Sunday, November 21, the Hamilton County Department of Education was featured on the local NPR affiliate WUTC, 88.1 FM. From 12-1 p.m. the station aired American Radio Works podcast Testing Teachers which looked at improving achievement through teacher quality. The program focused on efforts in Washington, DC and in Hamilton County through its Benwood Initiative.
From 1-2 p.m. participants in the Benwood Initiative discussed the history of the program, its philosophy and efforts, outcomes, how it impacted teaching and learning, how it affected teacher quality and principal leadership and how HCDE used the success of the Benwood Initiative to form one of the cornerstones of its Race to the Top Scope of Work.
