It was an honour to engage in a wonderful conversation with Brent about his Chapter, Literacy Leadership. Brent was generous in sharing and discussing the following points:
- His introduction
- His journey into becoming an educator and why he was selective in only wanting to teach students in years 5 and 6,
- His first principalship at the age of 29 in a school that had approximately 3 principals in 5 years,
- His journey and experience in this role
- The focus on creating a change in the systems and structures of a school
- Effective literacy instruction
- Elements (not an exhaustive list) to take into account when leading a system-wide change
An enormous thanks to Brent for taking the time to engage in this important conversation and to everyone else that will be engaging with it on Human Chapters YouTube, Podcast, and/or Facebook Page. Please share it with others that may find value in it.
