Welcome to Brick and Mortar: Education from the Inside Out, the podcast where we take you behind the scenes of Maryland's education system. Hosted by Delegate Eric Ebersole and Matt Gresick, we dive deep into the issues shaping public education today, with a focus on the policies, innovations, and key figures that are driving progress.

In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Josh Michael, the current President of the Maryland Board of Education. Dr. Michael shares insights into the Blueprint for Maryland's Future, a transformative initiative aimed at ensuring every student has access to a high-quality education. We explore the successes of public education in Maryland, how the Blueprint is making an impact, and the critical work still ahead to continue improving educational outcomes across the state.

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with one of Maryland's leading education advocates, as we uncover how the Blueprint is helping shape a brighter future for students and educators alike.
