About this episode

The episode explores the importance of collective action in leadership and education through dialogue and shared responsibility.

In this episode of Educate US, hosts Stacey Schultz and Patrice Fenton move past the "lone hero" trope to explore the collaborative heart of their upcoming book, The Promise of Collective Leadership. By reflecting on the conversation with Dr. Luisa Ortega and the initiatives of the Chicano Latino Youth Leadership Project, they demonstrate how shifting from individualistic models to shared responsibility fosters deeper resilience and innovation in education. This conversation serves as a practical guide for using dialogue and diverse perspectives to share power with the next generation of leaders.
