This week, Rod and Jal are joined by former Kentucky Commissioner of Education and longtime education leader Jason Glass for a wide-ranging conversation about power, democracy, and what schools are really teaching students. Jason shares his journey from traditional accountability-focused reform work to a deeper belief that the real work of education happens at the human level: in relationships, student experiences, and meaningful learning.
