Every seasoned educator has a success story that reminds us that what we do matters, but sharing how our struggles and even failures also bring about positive change is just as valuable. In this episode, we had an amazing conversation in February of 2025 with Dr. Joseph Garner, Coordinator of the Office of School Improvement with ALSDE. He shared his incredible journey through his career in law enforcement and education that have helped shape his determined outlook on guiding each under-performing school in the program.
