S4 E3: Leadership Interaction with the Community

March 4, 2021

Overview:

This is a discussion from a local podcast in Arizona with host Alicia Haygood, Kevin Stoller, and Scottsdale Unified School District Superintendent Dr. Scott Menzel. Topics include:

  • Taking Over as Superintendent During COVID
  • Leading Through Chaos
  • Changing the Culture
  • Building Community Support
  • Addressing the Competition between Public Districts and Charter Schools

We also discuss the value of Superintendents having an outlet of peers to work through personal and professional issues. What is Education Leaders’ Organization? ELO is aimed to reduce the turnover in leadership roles by focusing on personal development, as well as professional development.

If you know a school leader that would benefit from a peer-to-peer confidential group, nominate them today at www.ed-leaders.org.

Kevin Stoller is the host of the Better Learning Podcast and Co-Founder of Kay-Twelve, a national leader for educational furniture. Learn more about creating better learning environments at www.Kay-Twelve.com.
