Looking to connect with like-minded educational leaders who desire real change for our kids!

I welcome feedback and conversation with education professionals who want to advance a change agenda in our country. We recognize our current system cannot meet the needs and demands of our current clientele and societal demands, but what could our system look like in the future?

Encouraging conversation with a university partner today

Sat down today with a few high ranking officials from a university situated in very close proximity to our school district.  The purpose of the meeting was discuss how to strengthen partnerships and look for new and different ways to collaborate.

For the first time...ever...we heard the university official express a sincere interest in learning how they could better prepare their school of education graduates to work in our schools.  They are seeking advice, wisdom and guidance from K-12 teachers and administrators...wow!!!!  What a refreshing exchange...a university seeking to reflect and continuously improve their pedagogy so they can better serve our district and those near us.

Anyone else out there finding meaningful dialogue between public school organizations and university partners?

Carroll University in Waukesha, WI...major props!
