This edition of Education Matters focuses on successful innovation and technology programs in Kentucky high schools.
Guests Hal Heiner, Kentucky Education and Workforce Development Cabinet Secretary; Kentucky Commissioner of Education Stephen Pruitt; and Beth Benjamin, director of the Owensboro Innovation Academy, discuss innovative educational approaches in high schools across the state.
The program includes a segment filmed at iLEAD Academy in Carrollton. Students from five counties—Carroll, Gallatin, Henry, Owen and Trimble—attend this non-traditional career-focused academy that emphasizes project-based instruction in science, technology, engineering and math.
