In this episode, we discuss the current climate of schools post-covid across North America and the need to recalibrate our energies, efforts, and expectations to meet our students and educators where they are at. Many of us feel weary, but there are so many ways to get fired up about education. Listen to some of Jimmy's excellent advice about education, culture-building and fostering our morale in school to boost student efficacy! Jimmy served twenty-two years as a school leader. He is a best selling author, speaker, leadership coach, and a state and national award winning principal. Under Jimmy’s leadership, Bettendorf High School was named one of the best high schools in the country three times by Newsweek and U.S. News and World Report. JImmy was named the 2012 Iowa Principal of the Year and was runner-up NASSP 2013 National Principal of the Year. In 2014, Jimmy was invited to the White House to speak on the Future Ready Pledge. Finally, in 2015, he received the Bammy Award for the National Principal of the Year.
