What happens when trust in information starts to break down but the pace of change in education keeps accelerating? This week, Jerri and Jamie sit down with internationally respected education leader and thought partner Al Kingsley for a candid conversation on the challenges and opportunities shaping education worldwide.
From AI and literacy to leadership and governance, Al shares practical insights on making complex topics easier to navigate and asks an important question: how do school leaders make confident decisions in an increasingly noisy world? Rather than offering one-size-fits-all answers, Al explores the power of asking better questions, listening deeply, and building solutions that reflect each school community.
