This month, join Dr. Don Haddad for a walk as he reflects on the book, the Leadership Secrets of Nick Saban by John Talty, and what lessons can be applied to public education and advancing our schools and communities.

As the communication and media landscape has evolved over the past decade, communicating effectively about the impact of our public schools has become a greater challenge amid competing messages and special interests. To ensure the future success of our communities, states, and nation, we must reclaim our story in order to foster continued support for current and future generations.

This month, join Dr. Don Haddad on a walk to talk about the current model of assessment and accreditation. What are we really measuring and how do we align our systems to ensure students success in our complex, globalized world?

Dr. Don Haddad invites listeners to join him for a walk to share some thoughts about the current state of public education, both in Colorado and nationally. Some concerning trends that elected officials and education leaders need to focus on is the number of districts moving to a four-day school week, and inconsistent expectations for high school graduation requirements. Dr. Haddad also poses the question: Can we have a statewide vision for public education that works well in the construct of local control?

In this episode, Dr. Don Haddad is joined by Joe McBreen, a visionary technology and innovation leader who now serves as the Assistant Superintendent of Innovation for St. Vrain Valley Schools. Together, they discuss the importance of system, culture, sustainability, and vision in ensuring a strong foundation for the successful implementation of technology in learning environments.
