Leaders in Education

Transformation is King

In this issue of Leaders in Education, our focus is on an ever-changing landscape in education and how administrators, educators, and business leaders are turning to new partnerships and innovative programs to boost student achievement and better prepare students to be college and workforce ready. Successful administrators from Texas, Georgia, Miami, North Carolina, and Kansas share their insights and experience on how they are thinking differently about education and reshaping the landscape.

Defining STEM

In this issue of Leaders in Education, we introduce you to several educators and school administrators who have turned the corner on defining STEM education in their districts and regions. You will meet a Hillsborough County (Florida) School District administrator who is defining STEM in ways designed to get students to think outside the box through inquiry-based learning and real-world experiences. And you will hear from a variety of educators, community leaders, and business professionals who share their opinions on the growing importance of STEM education.

Closing the Readiness Gap

In this issue of Leaders in Education, you’ll be introduced to a Brownwood, Texas, superintendent who has established key relationships with the local Chamber of Commerce and major employers such as 3M and Kohler. A guest column from activist and actor John Ratzenberger leads off this issue as he shares a viewpoint squarely in line with the need to close the readiness gap and prepare students for postsecondary education and the workforce. Are you looking for ways to close that gap too? If so, read on.

Engineering Success in Greenville

In this issue of Leaders in Education, you will meet a principal, a vice principal, and a teacher who think they’ve found a better way to teach the language of algebra, and you will learn how students at Carolina High School & Academy have been given an opportunity to learn algebra in a nontraditional way – a way that lets students see algebra, hear algebra, and speak algebra. A unique combination of hands-on activities, a cooperative learning environment, and a student-centered instructional model provide these students with an answer to the question, “Why do I need to know algebra?”
