In this episode of TransformED with StepUp, we’re joined by Dr. Mitch Hiser, Principal of Lewis and Clark Elementary (Liberty Public Schools) and Regional President of the Missouri Association of Elementary School Principals (MAESP). Known for his dedication to fostering a learner-centered culture, Dr. Hiser leads his school with a commitment to helping every student reach their potential.

Dr. Hiser shares his insights on empowering students to become active participants in their own learning journeys and creating a supportive environment for teachers. He discusses his approach, "The Skill, The Will, The Thrill," focusing on building essential skills, nurturing motivation, and inspiring a love for learning in students. Through this approach, he ensures that his school is always centered on the question, "What do we want for our students?"
