In this episode, I talk with Kevin Brown, Executive Director of TASA, about why trust and community are the foundation for educational innovation. Kevin shares how TASA is helping leaders shape a positive vision for Texas public schools through the Texas Promise, leadership networks, and professional learning designed around members’ needs.
We also discuss the partnership between superintendents and school boards, the importance of engaging student experiences, and why leaders must keep learning throughout their careers.
What is one way your school or district builds trust with its community?
