She shares how the district is embracing the science of reading, leveraging lessons from Mississippi’s turnaround, and expanding access to music and the arts to support cognitive development.</p><p>He reflects on the challenges of serving such a vast and varied student population, especially those impacted by poverty and housing insecurity while emphasizing the importance of local leadership, community partnerships, and innovation.

Educating the Future Workforce: Inside Fort Worth’s Bold School Strategy
<p>In this episode of On The Clock, Strategos Partner and host Todd Dallas Lamb sits down with Dr. Karen Molinar, Superintendent of the Fort Worth Independent School District (FWISD), for a dynamic conversation about education’s evolving role in a rapidly changing Texas. With over 27 years of experience in the district, Dr. Molinar brings deep institutional knowledge and a forward-thinking vision to the table.</p><p>Together, they explore how Fort Worth’s explosive growth—now one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S.—is driving demand for a future-ready workforce. Dr. Molinar discusses how FWISD is meeting that challenge head-on by aligning career and technical education (CTE), early college high schools, and industry partnerships with the city's expanding economic sectors, including technology, automotive, HVAC, and even film production, thanks to the local presence of producer Taylor Sheridan.</p><p>The episode also delves into the power of community collaboration. From FWISD’s work with three city chambers and a mayor’s council, to its groundbreaking partnership with Tarrant County College and the city-backed T3 initiative, Dr. Molinar explains how the district is preparing students, many from underrepresented backgrounds—for high-wage, high-demand careers without the burden of student debt.</p><p>Dr. Molinar’s personal story, leadership philosophy, and belief in the potential of every student underscore a powerful message: when schools and communities work in unison, education becomes the engine of opportunity. If you're an educator, policymaker, or parent, this episode is a masterclass in how to lead a district with heart, strategy, and purpose.</p><p><strong>Key Moments</strong></p><p>05:51 Tech-Focused CTE Reevaluation Plan</p><p>07:16 "Building Community and Career Pathways"</p><p>11:20 "Successful College Partnerships Expansion"</p><p>13:15 First-Generation Graduation Inspires</p><p>18:32 Diversifying Experiences: Sports & Education</p><p>21:13 Community Support for Fort Worth Schools</p><p>22:44 Fort Worth ISD Superintendent Interview</p><p><strong>Connect with Dr. Karen Molinar</strong></p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/karen-molinar-86a753b2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/karen-molinar-86a753b2</a></p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.fwisd.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.fwisd.org/</a></p>

From Oxford to Every Classroom: The Truth About Reading Instruction
<p>In this episode of On The Clock, host Todd Dallas Lamb welcomes Dr. Charles Hulme, professor emeritus at Oxford University and one of the foundational voices behind the modern Science of Reading movement. With wit, humility, and deep scientific insight, Dr. Hulme traces the origins of the now widely adopted phrase “science of reading,” and explores how decades of research into how children learn to read are reshaping classrooms worldwide.</p><p>Dr. Hulme discusses the cognitive mechanics behind literacy—drawing clear distinctions between reading for decoding and reading for comprehension—and explains why phonics remains a non-negotiable starting point for literacy instruction. He also dives into the emotional and lifelong consequences of reading struggles, particularly how early language deficits can spiral into academic underachievement, social isolation, and mental health issues.</p><p>The episode goes beyond theory. Hulme describes his work with OxEd, the Oxford University spinout he founded to bring evidence-based reading and language tools into schools. With over two-thirds of English schools using their assessments, OxEd exemplifies how rigorous research can drive practical, scalable solutions in education.</p><p>Todd and Dr. Hulme also touch on everything from educational funding in the UK to regional accents in America—ending with a heartwarming childhood anecdote about a chance encounter with a shoe repairman who sparked young Charles’s fascination with psychology.</p><p>Key Moments</p><p>04:39 Oxford Experience and Educational Journey</p><p>07:03 Rethinking Dyslexia: Language Roots</p><p>12:52 Dyslexia Severity Compared to Hypertension</p><p>14:15 Oxford Research Spinout Company</p><p>19:44 "Advocating Science in Education"</p><p>22:50 Early Encounter with Psychology</p><p>26:11 Language Development in Babies</p><p>28:28 "Honoring Charles' Educational Impact"</p><p>Connect with Dr. Charles Hulme</p><p>LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/charles-hulme-7a1846165</p><p>=============================</p><p><br></p><p>Learn more about Strategos Group: https://www.strategosgroup.com/</p><p>LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/strategos-group-public-affairs/</p><p>🚨 Subscribe to the Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@strategospodcastnetwork</p><p><br></p><p>=============================</p><p><br></p><p>PODCASTS</p><p>🎧 Capital Class with Adam Giery: https://www.strategosgroup.com/podcast</p><p>🎧 On the Clock with Todd Dallas Lamb: https://www.strategosgroup.com/podcast-on-the-clock</p><p>🎧 Swimming Upstream with Tom Luna: https://swimming-upstream.captivate.fm/listen</p><p>🎧 On Balance with Dr. Rod Berger: https://www.strategosgroup.com/podcast-on-balance</p><p>🎧 To the Point with Jim Horne and Doug Mesecar: https://to-the-point.captivate.fm/</p><p><br></p><p>Produced by Old Soul: https://bit.ly/3KuYfrD</p><p><br></p><p>=============================</p><p><br></p><p>#educationmanagement #educationleadership #education</p>
