Want to broaden your education world view? This EducateMe! episode welcomes a world traveler in Dr. Khrisslyn Goodman (https://www.linkedin.com/preload/#), Executive Director of Research, Evaluation & Assessment at Eastern Carver County Schools (https://www.linkedin.com/preload/#).

Khrisslyn brings a unique view to public education in the United States, with an unorthodox journey that has culminated in her teaching and leading in Minnesota. Her unique view extends to her scope of work, also, with engagement in just about every aspect of her school district.

You're going to be hard-pressed to find a more energetic Educate Me! guest (or one with a longer list of responsibilities making up his 12-word job title!) than Bill Bass (https://www.linkedin.com/in/williambass/) of Parkway Schools (https://www.linkedin.com/company/parkway-school-district/), and ISTE (https://www.linkedin.com/company/isteofficial/) President of the Board of Directors.

As an educational leader, Bill not only brings his positive energy and enthusiastic focus to his home state of Missouri, he also travels the U.S., evangelizing in school districts and at Ed conferences across the country. But today, he found the time to talk to us 😊

From humble beginnings, a determined young Mike Miles embarked on a distinguished college journey. From there, to the military. Then diplomacy. Before his third career as an educator saw him rise through the ranks to now leading the 8th largest school district in the nation, Houston USD, TX.

How do you move a system of that size, ensuring positive growth and impact across the entire community? And what did Mike learn along his professional path that helped inform his beliefs as to how to successfully tackle this huge challenge?
