  • Great Conversations!

    Tim is a great interviewer and host! His conversations with his guests are always interesting and are always the perfect length: never too long and never too short. Some similarly formatted interview shows feel like they ramble, go on too long or the interesting content ebbs and flows. Not with Teachers on Fire. It's all 🔥.

Q: How did you build trust and honor the traditions without erasing histories?

The consolidation was a long-standing topic in the community; although votes and discussions occurred for decades, the decisive move came from the school boards and local government, with an emphasis on honoring both schools' histories while forming a single unified culture.
7 Steps to School Success - with Dr. James Lane, Former Superintendent of the Year
Q: What are the seven steps to school success?
