Have you ever thought that your school board might not be working directly for the benefit of student outcomes? You’re probably right. Many focus instead on things like cracks in building walls, the color of the school’s uniforms, budgets, library books, and more. While these are important, none of these will drive student outcomes.

This week on the podcast, I’m talking with AJ Crabill, author and conservator at DeSoto, Texas ISD. AJ shares valuable insights on how successful boards can spend their time, prioritize growth, and create a continuous improvement cycle within their districts.

We'll also explore the vital role of parent involvement in school boards, representing the vision and values of the community. Learn how you can make a meaningful impact, regardless of your educational background.

Don't miss this enlightening conversation that empowers education leaders, teachers, and decision-makers to prioritize student success and foster effective governance. Tune in now for valuable insights and actionable strategies.

Financial literacy is an essential part of every child’s education, but very few schools are actually teaching this. Kids need to know the value of compound interest and the negative effects of debt so they’re empowered to build a successful future.

This week on the podcast, I’m talking to Brian Curcio of Rapunzl Investing about investing and building generational wealth. He talks about making financial literacy attainable, supporting teachers, and engaging students in project-based learning.

Our youth shouldn’t have to wait until they’re out of school to learn how to be financially literate; it’s important that we start now. In the classroom.

Let's equip the next generation with the knowledge and skills they need for financial success.

Interns don’t come into organizations to take over the work that their managers don’t want to do, for free. They’re young adults who have living expenses and a life outside work, and they’re yearning to get a foot in their industry of choice.

Hosting companies owe it to interns to support them as much as possible, setting them up for success in the internship and the future.

This week on the podcast, we’re talking more about what this looks like. Be sure to tune in tomorrow for more!
