Dr. Scott joins us today to discuss current issues related to school administration and leadership. He shares the three primary issues he believes needs to be addressed in school leadership and the core characteristics he sees in education leaders. We discuss the importance of modeling good leadership skills and understanding when to speak truth to power. We also discuss how outside influences can impact your perspective as an education leader and the importance of being open to other perspectives and world views while staying true to your core beliefs, morals, and ethics.
"We have to nurture leaders in their own image, not in ours." - Dr. Scott Lowrey
