Education Week

The Leaders Coaching Leaders Podcast for current and aspiring school leaders covers evidence-based approaches for tackling immediate needs to impact student learning. Every week Dr. Peter DeWitt and our guests get together to share ideas, put research into practice, discuss what's working and what's not in equity, SEL, burnout, and learning loss (and more) to help you ensure every student is learning not by chance, but by design.  Click here for recent podcast interviews. 

We know that access to leadership is critical to inspiring you and your work. That is why we created “A Seat at the Table With Education Week”—a live, online video conversation and webinar with experts in the field, including your fellow practitioners. These conversations provide you with the opportunity to engage directly with educators and researchers on a range of topics and issues that matter most to you. Peter DeWitt, Ed.D facilitates conversations with leading experts in their field, and no topic is off limits. Whether it's race, equity, sexuality, gender, school leadership, well-being, assessment or countless other topics in education, DeWitt and his guests engage in deep conversations that will help educators get a better understanding of the challenges and how to overcome them. 

Even during these challenging times, you know that a better education for all students is possible. And we do, too.

There is so much debate in education, whether we are talking about public education, private education, inequalities in what is offered to children, or high stakes testing, teacher and administrator evaluation and property tax caps. Some adults have a tendency to focus on the negative side of debates and sometimes they vilify people in the process. Finding Common Ground is not about vilifying people but searching for a common understanding.

As educators we have a positive or negative impact on our students and it is up to us to decide which one is the way we wish to be remembered. Three days a week, Peter explores issues that cover the emotional and social issues children face. He has focused on high-stakes testing, teacher and administrator evaluation, safeguarding LGBTQ students, drop-out prevention, school discipline, reaching students who are at-risk, using social networking for students and educators and other topics that effect educators, students and parents every day.

Finding Common Ground is read nationally and internationally. He enjoys hearing from readers, so if you like/dislike something you read on Finding Common Ground, contact him. Hopefully we can all find some common ground together.
