As we wind down the school year, we know that folks have been giving it their all for a very long time and may be feeling tired - or even, a bit uninspired. But when we at SST8 look around, we see no shortage of inspiration in the creative and innovative ways our local colleagues are tackling today’s challenges and opportunities in education. So this season, we are bringing you another series of interviews - still talking to educators across the region, for the most part - but this time thinking about how we can shake things up to improve education in our community. We’ll answer questions about things you might never have thought to ask, like:

• How can Starbucks help a district implement PBIS?

• How are police officers helping a district promote early literacy?

• How did chronic absenteeism become a public health crisis and what 

• How do you get 48 schools on the same page about implementation?

• How can educational leaders use artificial intelligence to move their districts and schools forward?

And many other exciting topics to come.

So get ready for a new season of 8 with 8 - Eight Great Educational Innovations - coming to Anchor and all other podcast platforms on Friday, April 12. See you soon!
