Guest: Dr. Brian Brown, Chief Information Officer, Texas Wesleyan University
Dr. Brian Brown, Chief Information Officer at Texas Wesleyan University and a former decade-long TCEA board member and past president, joins to reflect on a career spanning classroom teaching, K-12 tech leadership, and higher ed. Brian shares hard-won lessons on why tech departments should empower rather than gatekeep, why he refused to block student access to tools like AI in a high-need district, and how TCEA's board evolved from a regional "working board" to a role-based governance model serving 90,000+ members.

Guest: Ali Worsham, Instructional Coach, Pine Tree ISD

From secondary English classrooms to elementary literacy coaching, Ali shares what it means to close learning gaps, build kids' belief in themselves, and lead with high expectations.

Building Belonging in the Library
Guest: Rachael Welsh, Librarian, Pearland ISD
Rachael Welsh, a school librarian at Pearland ISD, shares her winding path from wanting to be a veterinarian to finding her true calling among the stacks. She talks candidly about the misconceptions people have about librarians, the "refresh and recharge" corner she's built for kids who need a quiet moment, and why she pushes back on the idea that "kids don't read anymore." Rachael also opens up about book advocacy, curating difficult topics with care, and why she believes stories give kids language for what they're going through.
