POPULARITY
Back in February, I had the Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction on the podcast as the first elected official. Today, we are fortunate enough to have Joy Hofmeister, the Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction join us on Anchored in Education. Joy has been instrumental in helping lead Oklahoma through several positive changes in the education environment. In today's episode, we talk about standards, assessment, how to best support educators, and of course, remote learning. After listening, head over to www.escottengland.com to find the show resources and read more about Joy.
Our February news coverage focused on the latest in politics from Andy Downs and Indiana Public Broadcasting’s Annacaroline Caruso in South Bend after Mayor Pete Buttigieg has ended his presidential campaign.

We’ll also hear the latest in public development and arts and culture from WBOI’s Zach Bernard and Julia Meek. That’s all still to come on the February News Roundup on WBOI Presents. Our theme music is by Mark Waldick. Additional music comes from Mark Waldick, Noah Campodonico, and Kurt Roemke. Our web producer is Loyal Vandenburg. Our production assistants are Monica Blankenship and Mikaela Veltum.
It is no secret that I am often critical of elected officials and the meddling they do in education. They often pitch their work as helpful to all, but it is more often than not just a small group in their region or district they are trying to appease. What happens is punishment for all. Or let's talk education funding. Of course I'm bias, but I believe education is the most important line item on any state budget. What do we most often see? Cuts. Cuts. And more cuts. But I was on Twitter when today's guest, Dr. Jennifer McCormick caught my attention. She holds the elected position of State of Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction. What got my attention is that she was giving a hard time to legislators from both sides of the aisle as she stood up for what she knows is right for education. Though I haven't had much luck getting an elected official to join me on Anchored in Education, Jennifer immediately agreed. After listening, head over to www.escottengland.com to find the show resources and read more about Jennifer.
