Detention with Dr. Nadia Lopez

Stephanie Paz was a teacher in Houston, Texas, who moved to the Bronx to become a high school English teacher. Her experience in one of the most controversial states when it comes to legalizing policies that ban books and has deemed it unlawful to teach anything related to Critical Race Theory, to what it was like to live through a school shooting, is compelling. Every state has their flaws and what has allowed Stephanie to remain committed has been her resilience.

7 Keys for Superintendents to Succeed Superintendents have the great responsibility of leading an entire district that consists of numerous schools, thousands of students and hundreds of teachers. We often look to the principal as the person with the highest title, but it's actually the superintendent who establishes the district wide goals, institutes policies, and hold school leaders accountable for student outcomes. But how are they leveraging their positions to transform the community they lead? How are they keeping a pulse on what is happening in their schools, beyond the yearly evaluations they may conduct on each leader once a year? These 7 keys will unlock opportunities for the superintendent to have system wide impact and lead with integrity.
