Educators everywhere can relate to this experience: The next shiny new initiative is announced and you scramble to adapt, only to be disappointed when the results don’t meet the promise. But what happens when you try a different approach?

In this episode, we speak with Greg Dufoe, superintendent of Adel Desoto Minburn Community Schools in Iowa; Kim Timmerman, principal of Adel Desoto Minburn Middle School, a Model Professional Learning Communities (PLC) at Work® school; and PLC at Work® associate Geri Parscale. These three purpose-filled practitioners share an empowering story of how they shifted daily practice from simply working harder to focusing on the right work—and always holding student learning at the heart of the mission.
