This UNCORK conversation with educator and community leader Josh Windsor examines these crucial questions: Should we, or are we seeing a seismic shift in how we should deliver public education and define student and system successful outcomes? And, how does the often bureaucratic and politically entangled world of public education leadership compare with the profit-driven arena of private sector leadership?

Our chat is a deep dive into the need for students to engage with 21st-century learning competencies and the concept of micro-credentialing. It also touches on the importance of teaching creativity and breaking down disciplinary silos to achieve the ultimate goal of creating an education system that values engagement and provides students with relevant and transferable skills.

The conversation also explores various aspects of education, including student engagement and activism, the application of knowledge, supporting adolescents, cell phone use and communication, instilling values and problem-solving skills, resilience and failure, parental support and self-advocacy, leadership in education vs. the private sector, the complexity of education leadership, balancing stakeholder needs, challenges faced by educators, passion and dedication in education, and building relationships and trust.
