Timely & Informative!

As the principal of a school implementing PBL the episodes always seem to hit on a topic with ideas and strategies that are needed at that moment. Our teachers get excited to hear from other teachers and my team and I talk about the leadership tips. I love all the guests and can find myself going down a rabbit hole of new leaders to follow with so many resources!

Great Strategies for Educational Leaders

What I appreciate the most about Ryan and the guests he brings on his podcast is the focus on innovative ways to positively shape 21st century education. He offers a wide array of strategies and guests who offer cutting-edge ideas that beleaguered educational leaders need to hear about. An excellent podcast!
