Description

Kicking off season 6 of The Next Class 2.0, host Robert Birdsell is joined by returning co-hosts Dr. Erin Barisano and Kent Hickey, along with new producer Carlos Cárdenas. This season introduces a refreshed format—each episode will start with a preview of the guest and topic, and wrap up with a debrief from the hosts. Upcoming conversations will explore mastery-based learning with assessment expert Laura Slover, insights from leaders new to their roles, trends in school leadership tenure, and best practices for working with boards. The season also highlights retreats for Catholic school leaders, drawing inspiration from the Gospels’ imagery of “going up the mountain” to reflect and renew.
