Genuine approach to discussing educational trends

These shows are user-friendly for anyone in education. Thank you for taking topics that are current and making them accessible. Your guests follow your humble vibe and therefore open up with vulnerable comments.

Fantastic Show

I agree, this podcast will be downloaded by many. This podcast made me feel grateful and fortunate to work for a charter school, where our leadership has a direct impact on students and their needs. As an ELD Coach, I have the opportunity to build relationships with over 100 students across 5 school sites. I am required, as our Assistant Principals and other leadership, to get to know our students and get involved with student activities.

So You Think You Can Implement-The Often Ignored Science of Implementation

Great conversation with Dr. Caryn Ward. A wonderful walk through of what Implementation Science 'looks like' in practice. A concise overview that demonstrates how various frameworks are connected and lays the foundation for further exploration of this important topic. Thank you!

Great podcast

Good content for school leaders.

Perfect for School Leaders

I have gotten more out of this podcast than any other podcast or book I have read in the past! Mike always offers helpful information ranging from productivity to teacher improvement to parenting teenage girls. The podcasts is in an interview format but he doesn't just stick to the "big wigs" in education. I have listened to him interview Harvard professors, curriculum experts, business leaders, business coaches, and more!

Valuable and Insightful Conversation

This podcast addresses topics directly that are important to me as an educator and middle school principal. The guests are informed and interesting, Dr. Doughty is insightful and engaging, and the information is always timely. I have found myself going back and listening to some of these podcasts multiple times. I highly recommend anyone interested in education today take a listen!

School Leadership Show-Just-in Time Coaching

Mike Doughty’s podcasts here address timely topics and provide practical material that the listener can apply to his/her work and life immediately. With the revolution in leadership roles and responsibilities I have used several of these podcasts to provide “just-in-time” information to new and transitioning leaders with whom I work. The show’s guests have wisdom and experience in the field which provides reliability and validity to the content imparted on the show.

School Leadership Coaching On the Go

I came across this podcast while looking for a way to continue my own professional growth during my daily commute. I love the interview format and the wide variety of guests. Whether time management gurus or curriculum experts, this podcast moderator skillfully focuses the conversation toward tips, words of wisdom, and expert advice that every school leader or aspiring school leader can put into practice right away. It is like having an executive coach and life coach on demand. I have been recommending this podcast to all of my colleagues. I highly recommend this podcast to any school leader or future school leader who wants to hone their craft and improve their efficiency, while striving toward a more balanced life. Fabulous podcast!
