Innovating Education with Kathy Curry and Daniel Hamlin (OKEII)
Episode 14
Friday, 28 February, 2025
In this episode, Ed and Jentre visit with Kathy Curry and Daniel Hamlin of the Oklahoma Education Impact Initiative (OKEII). The Oklahoma Education Impact Initiative is a non-profit initiative dedicated to rapidly transforming Oklahoma's public education system. The initiative is undertaking a comprehensive research effort conducted by an independent team of leading scholars from Oklahoma.This research team is surveying representative samples of Oklahomans, including: school principals and superintendents, school board members, teachers, staff, parents and family of students, and the general public. OKEII’s primary research objective is to understand what the groups above consider to be the main problems – and solutions – affecting the K-12 public education in the state. The secondary objective is to elicit information on potential solutions (i.e., resources, practices, and policies) to these problems. These data will result in the creation and formulation of OKEII’s comprehensive education initiative.To learn more about the Oklahoma Education Impact Initiative, please check out the links below.Links: https://www.okeii.org/To learn more about the Innovating Education Podcast and work of the Brock Institute, click here.
