What happens when bold leadership meets policy pressure in today’s schools?

Dr. Khalid Mumin, former Pennsylvania Secretary of Education, discusses the intersection of policy, leadership, and student-centered innovation with hosts Dr. Leila Nuland and Dr. Mort Sherman.

Dr. Mumin shares his perspective on navigating the balance between federal mandates and local decision-making, the power of student voice, and the role of advocacy in driving meaningful change. Drawing from his experiences as a superintendent in both underserved and affluent districts, he highlights the challenges and opportunities that come with leading dynamic school systems.

This discussion delves into strategic leadership approaches, the importance of listening to students and educators, and how district leaders can create lasting impact—all while staying adaptable to shifting policies and community needs.

Join us as we bridge visionary leadership with practical solutions, offering actionable insights for superintendents, district leaders, and education changemakers.
