What does it take to lead a modern school system through transformative change? In this episode, we are joined by veteran educator Dr. Jill Gildea, current CEO of Colorado Early Colleges and former Superintendent of the Park City School District.

Dr. Gildea discusses her "whatever it takes" approach to student-centered learning and why she believes the future of education lies in the "Big Three": college access, industry credentials, and real-world work experience. We dive deep into her career path—from a classroom teacher to a multi-state superintendent—and her advocacy for parent coaching and mental health resources to support the "whole child".

Key Takeaways:

• Personalized Learning: Designing systems around the individual needs of every student.

• Leadership Wisdom: Why "People First" is the most important rule in administration.

• Innovation: How charter schools can move faster while navigating the same regulatory environments as public schools.
