We started the first early college high school program in Kentucky that's on a college campus. … We've had 500 kids go through that program, and 498 have earned a degree or are college right now. Crazy results from a population that's, you know, 70% free and reduced lunch, 18% homeless, and the vast majority first-generation college.”“I'm a big believer that your teachers live in the community. They're the people that are mostly talking to everybody at the grocery. And so if you can win your teachers over to your vision and your thinking and what you're doing, they'll sell it for you.”“You can't win everybody over in one day. So it's about that consistency and that transparency and just being real to them—that I think eventually does win everybody over.”Stay in touch with Dr. Buddy Berry:School on F.I.R.E School on Fire Innovating Instruction Stay in touch with Sarah Williamson:SWPR GROUP WebsiteLinkedInStay in touch with Chad Bolser:LinkedInAbout "The Secret to Transformational Leadership," which Sarah co-authored with Dr. Quintin Shepherd:Transformational Leadership Secret websitePurchase the print or ebook

In this episode, Kevin Stoller chats with Dr. Aspasia Angelou, a superintendent in Arizona. She highlights her role as a superintendent and the various initiatives she is leading in her school district. Dr. Angelou shares her background, growing up with Greek immigrant parents, and discusses how her early experiences shaped her drive to pursue education. She talks about her journey navigating educational challenges with limited family support.

She explains how she tackled these issues, including passing bonds for school funding and creating new high school facilities. Dr. Angelou discusses her approach to integrating innovative programs in her district, such as coding for young students, diverse extracurriculars like archery and agriculture, and designing a new high school from scratch with community input. Takeaways: There is always a way if you are determined enough. It's important to find a balance between honoring tradition and looking for innovation. It is critical for kids to understand technology, but it is also important that they have social experiences and play-based learning early.   About Dr. Angelou: Dr. Aspasia Angelou is the daughter of immigrant parents and a native of Seattle, Washington, where she graduated from the University of Washington. She moved to Texas as an educator and teacher trainer in advanced placement, and then to Oklahoma as a school administrator for 8 years.

Insane MAGA loon Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks Democrats control the weather, and that they intentionally tossed hurricane Helene at MAGA voters. The September jobs report came in with great data, showing the economy seems to be strengthening. Trump hasn't released any medical records, but we're sure he's the most healthy entity in the universe. Melania Trump proclaims her alleged pro-choice stance in her upcoming memoir, and her felon husband said he "can't tell her what to do." Christofascist scumbag Ryan Walter, School Superintendent of Oklahoma schools, put out an RFP for the unconstitutional Bibles he wants to force upon school children, and the only ones that will qualify are the ridiculous Trump Bibles. Guess which party has a US Senate candidate who said the "bad guys" won World War II. California passed a law allowing Holland-like cannabis cafes. The 7th Circuit Court put a stay on Indiana's latest attempt to force a police state upon us. Ryan is vehemently against the concept of mixing Guinness Stout with Coca-Cola.

Send us a Text Message.For nearly a decade, Richard Woods has served as State School Superintendent here in Georgia. He has over 30 years of experience in public education, from Pre-K through 12th-grade. He was a high school teacher for 14 years, serving a​s department chair and teacher mentor….he has also served in administrative roles like principal, assistant principal, Pre-K director, and alternative school director. Support the Show.

Earlier this week, Georgia's state schools superintendent Richard Woods put his foot in his mouth when he announced the state would no longer be funding AP African American Studies. Folks were outraged. Folks (the Republican governor included) wanted to know why he made that decision. Well, he reversed course (somewhat) but activists were still outraged, so I reached out to Atlanta-based public education policy advocate Mikayla Arciaga so she could explain why Woods' about-face isn't good enough. Donald Trump's gone from "anytime, anywhere" to "not gonna debate her" using "we can't even be sure she's the nominee" as their excuse. And it definitely is that - an excuse. One that makes no sense to use to back out of a date in mid-September and well after the DNC convention when whomever the nominee is will be known by then. Meanwhile, former Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan - a Republican - again considered who he'd choose between Donald Trump and whomever else was on the ballot and went away from his party to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris. Hear why.

He talked with a half dozen leaders in the industry about the conference, the possibilities – especially for Indigenous entrepreneurs — and the legislative challenges. Plus, Green Bay school superintendent Dr. Claude Tiller resigned after appearing on a radio show in Atlanta, and a school board member resigned a week later. Stephanie, Rob and Dave talk through what led to that (34:57), now that we have the audio from the radio show and some sense as to what prompted the school board to launch an investigation.

SERIES 2 EPISODE 111: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump has never been truer to himself than after his solid but unspectacular victory over Nikki Haley in New Hampshire last night. His toadies like Marjorie Taylor Greene were whining within 10 minutes of the closing of the polls that the tally had been rigged against him. And he overshadowed his own victory by getting up and sweating through an angry, petty, vindictive "victory" speech in which he once again resorted to stochastic threats against Haley, this time promising he could reveal enough about her to get her investigated by "them." President Biden, meanwhile, won a non-primary primary in which he wasn't even on the Beauty Pageant Ballot, and he still got about 67% of the votes. And new polling in Pennsylvania - showing him up +8 over Trump there - was probably yesterday's REAL biggest presidential race story. Meanwhile it's Day 9 of Trump's Dementia Crisis. Not only are other Republicans noticing he's making less sense and seeming less present every day, but Trump is now blithering his way through teleprompter speeches and making sound effects on camera - all of which can be neatly folded into Biden Campaign Commercials. And while Jamie Combover's impeachment theater may be coming to the end of its run, there's a sudden revival of the Matt Gaetz Ethics Investigation in Congress. Plus why the President needs to federalize the Texas National Guard and arrest Governor Greg Abbott - today. B-Block (21:00) IN SPORTS: Baseball's Hall of Fame elects new members - one too few, or two too many? Beltre was a lock but I have deep doubts about Helton and Mauer. And look out, another MLB team will be forced to wear those horrific City Connect Uniforms. (25:57) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: How do the Oscars folks do this every year? You nominate Ken but not Barbie? You nominate Barbie for best picture but not its director? This is a tradition that dates back to "How Green Was My Valley" winning best picture in 1941 instead of say, Citizen Kane or The Maltese Falcon. One weird trick that connects Lenin and Benny Hill. And farewell to the greatest radio newscaster of all-time, Charles Osgood. (35:15) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Eric Adams plays Musical Chairs with actual chairs. Oklahoma's immoral School Superintendent gives a job to the immoral LibsOfTikTok witch. And Tiffany Cross finally breaks her silence on who knifed her in the back at MSNBC. The answer? Joey Scars himself. Joe Scarborough. C-BLOCK (43:40) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Since we're already in Trash-MSNBC-Mode, let me tell you again of the story of how Lawrence O'Donnell, kindly filling in for me in 2010 while my Dad was dying, used the opportunity to try to get me fired, or try to get all my producers to leave with him for his new show. Scarborough is always the worst - but O'Donnell is close.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
