In today’s episode, I’m discussing the importance of leadership in the education sector, with Dr. Byron Ernest. Dr. Ernest is Head of Schools for Hoosier Academies in Indiana, a virtual/hybrid blended academy that facilitates learning throughout the state to over 4,000 Indiana students K-12. With roles serving on Indiana Education Kitchen Cabinet and the State Board of Education, Byron is considered is an “Energetic Change Agent,” and I know you’ll love our discussion about developing a culture of leadership excellence, regardless of your position.
