Personalized Learning at Scale – Inside PowerSchool’s Global Impact
In this episode of On The Clock, host Todd Dallas Lamb sits down with longtime friend and edtech trailblazer Ryan Imbriale, Group Vice President and Head of Worldwide Education at PowerSchool. With nearly 30 years in public education—as a teacher, principal, district innovator, and now global executive—Imbriale offers a rare inside look at how cutting-edge technology is transforming education systems around the world.
The conversation spans from his early days launching one of the nation’s most ambitious 1:1 initiatives in Baltimore County to now leading PowerSchool’s global education strategy, reaching over 60 million students in 100+ countries. Imbriale shares how PowerSchool became the world’s largest education technology company and what it means to deliver truly personalized, data-driven learning at scale.
A major focus of the episode is artificial intelligence—how it’s already embedded in PowerSchool’s tools, why it's not replacing teachers but empowering them, and how AI is quietly revolutionizing everything from lesson planning to parent engagement. Imbriale also pulls back the curtain on international education models, offering insights into how ministries of education are leveraging centralized systems and what U.S. schools can learn from that approach.
With candor and clarity, Imbriale makes the case for innovation with purpose, urging educators and policymakers alike to think beyond fear and embrace AI as a means of expanding opportunity for every student. Whether you're an edtech skeptic or a die-hard futurist, this episode offers sharp insights, honest dialogue, and an optimistic look at what's next for learning.
