On the show today, Kraig Steinhoff, superintendent of Oakes Public Schools, shares a new and exciting approach to education that is being piloted with selected schools among the nation. Kraig and his team at OPS have a reputation for being innovative, and Kraig believes it's partly due to their commitment to demonstrating continuous improvement as a school district.

We talk about how the future of education is changing because the future workplace our kids will eventually enter is changing. He shares how important he believes the collaboration between the school and community is as well as what he'd suggest all small-town residents do to take an active role in the success of the community's education system.
