Listen "Zipping Up the WPEN Summer Summit"
Episode Synopsis
Bert Zipperer, returning Pencil Buster, active union enthusiast, and retired school counselor, joins Dr. Tim and Producer Jess to discuss the WPEN Summit. Wisconsin's educated educators have been a'talkin education all day. We attended learning sessions, gathered stories, and met with the most fully leaded teachers this side of the Michigan. And now it's time to chop it up. Bert currently serves as president of Madison Teachers Inc- Retired (MTI-R), a union representing retired educators who were part of MTI during their active teaching careers. He may be retired, but he's been busting pencils all day and STILL agreed to do an encore hour with us!
