  2. Michael Lubelfeld on Public Education as the Great Equalizer, Systemic Misconceptions, and Leading with Humility (Ep. 006)

    Michael Lubelfeld on Public Education as the Great Equalizer, Systemic Misconceptions, and Leading with Humility (Ep. 006)

    Michael Lubelfeld is a veteran superintendent, author, and outspoken advocate for public education as a cornerstone of democratic society. Since 2010, he has led Illinois’s North Shore School District 112, overseeing nine schools and serving thousands of students in the communities of Highland Park and Highwood. With decades of experience in school leadership, Lubelfeld has become a national voice on the challenges facing public schools—both visible and invisible. In this conversation, Michael joins Thomas to demystify what it actually takes to run a public school system. He explains why the superintendent’s job is more “orchestra director” than instructional leader, what most people get wrong about school governance, and why political noise is one of the least glamorous but most consequential parts of the job. He also shares candid reflections on the future of teacher retention, the importance of school culture over salary, and why professional development is the most underrated line item in a school budget. Along the way, they discuss the importance of student voice, what metrics really define educational success, how school systems can evolve beyond outdated age-based structures, and why collaboration across school types—public, private, charter, and micro—is essential. If you want to understand how schools really function and what it means to lead with humility, purpose, and clarity, this episode offers valuable insights from a true practitioner. “Public education is the great equalizer. That doesn’t mean it’s perfect. It means it’s necessary.” Read an enhanced transcript with helpful links at Eduaide.Ai. Recorded 18 July 2025

    Dylan Kane on Pre-Teaching, Fads, Working Memory, and Conceptual Understanding (Ep. 003)

    Dylan Kane is a seventh-grade math teacher in Leadville, Colorado, and the voice behind "Five Twelve Thirteen" on Substack, where he writes thoughtfully about the craft and science of teaching mathematics. As an active classroom teacher with a deep understanding of how students learn, Kane brings practical wisdom to the ongoing discussions about math education. In this conversation, Dylan joins Thomas to explore what makes for effective math instruction, why curriculum fidelity has become a concerning trend, and how teachers can balance procedural fluency with conceptual understanding. Drawing on his classroom experience and reflective practice, he discusses everything from the limitations of administrative oversight in education to specific teaching strategies like pre-teaching, choral response, and retrieval practice. Kane also addresses why educational blogging has changed over the years, what schools get wrong about communicating with parents, and what Generative AI might mean for the future of computation and math education. Whether you're a math teacher looking for practical approaches, an administrator thinking about curriculum implementation, or anyone interested in how students learn mathematical concepts, you'll find valuable insights in this honest conversation about the realities of teaching.
