There's no doubt that the idea of school safety has evolved a lot in the past few decades. Today, we connect with John McDonald, an expert and trusted advisor in the space, on his experiences and what we can be doing today to drive a more meaningful view of school safety in education. From cameras to caring, access control to asking questions, there's so much we can do to make our schools safer places to live, learn, and lead.

Data can be such a powerful tool in education. Today, we bring back Dr. Emily Bell, CIO of Fulton County Schools, as our first THREE-peat guest on the show. As Emily so nicely puts in in our closing, "You need to inspect what you expect." She takes us through a little bit of the impressive dashboard that puts important school data not only at the hands of school and district employees, but the general public - check the link below if you want to check it out!

We hear a lot of talk about student leadership and student agency in the education space. Today, we highlight two students who have been leading the way through the Chief Science Officers program. They started by being members of the organization and are now leading outreach projects that seek to keep students connected and help them transition from high school to college and career!

While many folks talk about the importance of educating ALL students for success, that is actually very difficult in practice. Today, we talk with Dr. Laura Hess from St. Vrain Valley Schools in Colorado about assistive technology and how it has the power to level the playing field for our students, allowing them to focus on the learning.
