In the season finale of Season 3 of Growth Over Grades, Jordan sits down with Doug Roberts, Founder & CEO of the Institute for Education Innovation (IEI). Doug shares what he’s learned from years of working with superintendents across the country—and why retention, relationships, and rebranding public education are more urgent than ever.
This episode explores the real impact of leadership churn, how districts can build trust across the system through better storytelling, and why systems thinking and empathy are essential for district leaders and solution providers. Doug also offers practical advice for navigating AI, operating with limited budgets, and staying student-centered in a noisy, politicized landscape.
