WWJ & EMU's Education Minute Education Minute is a partnership between WWJ Newsradio 950 and Eastern Michigan University to benefit the community. The program, which offers educational advice to help parents complement and extend the learning their children receive in school, helps WWJ listeners understand how they can incorporate “teachable moments” central to their children’s education — like making writing and reading fun, accessible and relevant.
Education Minute airs daily at 9:22 a.m., 12:23 p.m., 5:40 p.m. and 9:53 p.m. Web resources for parents who want to learn more than what can be gained in a one-minute radio spot are found on these pages.
Daily topics are Math, Mondays; Technology, Tuesdays; Writing and Reading, Wednesdays; Science, Thursdays; and Learning Beyond the Walls, Fridays. Each week features a different age focus ranging from pre-kindergarten to college.
