"How's School?" The question adults reflexively ask, and kids hate to answer. The truth is, we care about our young people, dare we say, even worry about them. But staying connected to their world and all the complexity they navigate can be a real challenge. The scope of issues we look at includes education, health, and psychology, but at the core is their well-being. And our ability to face things that impact them without losing heart.

Focusing on work in higher education that aims to improve our world, Pursuing the Public Good is a new podcast from Teachers College, Columbia University. Teachers College President Thomas Bailey interviews scholars about how they are collaborating across disciplines and institutions to address crucial issues like teacher education, mental health and wellness, digital innovation, and sustainability.
