A.J. Crabill - Great on Their Behalf: Why School Boards Fail, How Yours Can Become Effective. This is episode 571 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Improving student outcomes is Airick Journey (A.J.) Crabill’s relentless focus. He currently serves as the Conservator at DeSoto, Texas, Independent School District. During his guidance, DeSoto made double digit literacy gains and improved from having F ratings in areas of academics, finance, and governance to the district earning B ratings. He’s also Faculty at the Leadership Institution of Nevada; Collaborator with the Effective School Boards Initiative; and National Director of Governance at the Council of the Great City Schools in Washington, DC.
He served as Deputy Commissioner at the Texas Education Agency, and he spearheaded reforms as board chair of Kansas City (MO) Public Schools that doubled the percentage of students who are literate and numerate and eventually led KCPS to full accreditation for the first time in decades. Crabill received the Education Commission of the State's James Bryant Conant Award, which recognizes extraordinary individual contributions to education.
Our focus today is on AJ's book Great on Their Behalf: Why School Boards Fail, How Yours Can Become Effective.
