With over 20 years of experience spanning product development, policy reform, and leadership across major organizations like NBC Universal and McGraw-Hill, Nicola brings a powerful, pragmatic perspective to the table.
They dig into the root causes of high turnover in education, explore data-driven strategies for creating sustainable workforce pipelines, and discuss how schools can shift from reactive hiring to proactive talent cultivation. Nicola shares hard truths, real solutions, and a compelling vision for how schools can survive—and thrive—by rethinking how we recruit, train, and retain great educators.
