I’ve been in this profession for over fifteen years, and I look forward to seeing what the next 15 will be like. Welcome to The Chronicles.

    In this conversation, Nickeva Jones and I discuss the experiences and challenges faced in Title I schools. She reflects on the academic year, the importance of community engagement, and the perceptions surrounding Title I education.

    Our discussion highlights the need for effective communication with parents, the role of administration, and the significance of building relationships within the community.

    But most importantly we emphasize that success in education requires understanding, creativity, and a commitment to high standards, regardless of the school's designation. Another great conversation with a few gems to glean.
