In this episode of The K-12 Change Equation, hosts Dr.Leila Nuland and Dr.Mort Sherman dive into one of the most pressing debates in education today: the tension between federal, state, and local control in shaping school policy and practice. They explore how the potential decentralization of the U.S. Department of Education could impact districts, teachers, and students—and what school leaders need to consider as they navigate these changes.
Through personal stories and historical insights, Leila and Mort also discuss the ongoing evolution of ninth-grade academies, reflecting on past implementation challenges and the broader question: Why do we keep cycling through the same educational reforms without long-term success?
Join the conversation as they unpack the future of education, the role of AI in workforce preparation, and what school leaders and community members can do to influence the direction of public education.
