Ellis to Appear on One to One with Bill Goodman


On the next One to One, Bill Ellis, foundation professor emeritus of history at Eastern Kentucky University, and my newest lunch buddy, discusses his new book, A History of Education in Kentucky. Tuesday, September 6 at 7:30/6:30 pm CT on KET2

Goodman is also one of three moderators who will lead discussions about the major events that shaped that history and current issues in P-12 education on Thursday September 8th at Eastern Kentucky University. (More details here) Former Courier-Journal Editor David Hawpe will lead a discussion of higher education. Author and former Herald-Leader Managing Editor Tom Eblen will moderate a discussion of the issues raised during the day with members of the press.

Goodman's One to One features in-depth interviews with a variety of interesting people. Guests are drawn from a wide range of fields, and conversations cover an enormous array of topics. While many noteworthy Kentuckians are featured, Bill also talks with fascinating visitors from around the world.

This is why I love this blog...I would never have known about this interview unless you had printed it. Thanks, Richard.

I love the blog, loved the conference, and must say I love Ellis' book. I was a bit surprised that the index contains no reference to Stu Silberman and his so-called "reforms". Maybe Dr. Ellis was trying to make a statement. Maybe he has spoken with FCPS teachers. Or maybe he decided Silberman didn't have the impact we were told he did.

Also, Mr. Ellis will be signing his book at Jo-Beth on Thursday at 7:00 PM.
