A podcast about public education and the people who elevate it.
Each episode, host Mark Turner talks with someone in or who professionally supports public education and asks them 3 searching questions to understand how public education positively impacted them as a student and how they, in turn, are giving back to it in adulthood.
Educational leadership meets AI meets basketball meets podcasting meets la familia in this Educate Me! episode, as new TALAS: Texas Association of Latino Administrators and Superintendents (TALAS) Executive Director Dr. Rick Fernandez joins us!
Rick has a wide and incredibly interesting range of experiences that make up his education life, and he generously shares his journey in this latest episode. From a student struggling to see the relevancy in his schoolwork to an adult helping highlight the vital connection between K-12 and the world of work, Rick is bringing fellow leaders together across the public ed, corporate, and TALAS landscape.

Dr. Margaret Crespo, ILO Group + Women Leading Ed
This is one of the Educate Me! podcast episodes I've been most excited about; excited to record, and so excited for you all to listen to! 🤗
Dr. Margaret Crespo (https://www.linkedin.com/in/margaret-crespo/), Senior Executive VP of the ILO Group (https://www.linkedin.com/company/ilo-group/) + Superintendent in Residence of Women Leading Ed (https://www.linkedin.com/company/women-leading-ed/), represents everything great in public ed leadership.
Maggie has done so much good for so many people, not by having the "flashiest" perspective on the work (or the world), but by having the most consistent. She's smart, compassionate, and caring, innovative but pragmatic, strategic but straightforward, and has a belief in the power of JOY that is infectious!
