How Workforce Planning Drives Student Success


Listen Later

In this episode of Wake Up and Teach, host Nicola Soares, President of Kelly Education, sits down with Dr. Dan Sims, Superintendent of the Bibb County School District in Georgia, to talk about one of the most powerful levers in education: workforce effectiveness. With nearly three decades in public education, Dr. Sims shares how Bibb County’s strategic plan—anchored in their “Theory of Action”—connects educator support and staff well-being directly to student achievement. 

Nicola and Dr. Sims unpack how to build and refine a people-first strategy in education, including how to empower teachers, engage support staff, and create systems of accountability and recognition that actually work. They also explore how thoughtful collaboration and leadership development can reduce burnout, boost retention, and create joyful learning environments.
