About this episode

Pierre Orbe discusses his experience transforming a failing school into a high-performing institution.

Take 2 with the NYS Principal and the National Principal of the year of the Association of Latino Administrators and Superintendents, Pierre Orbe. We had some tech difficulties last week --and just like in school, when something doesn't go right, you do it again and make it work. We'll be LIVE together on the podcast today, Sunday, 4/12 at 1 pm EST. We'll talk leadership and learning, and hear Pierre's story of taking over a failing school that had 3 Principals in one year — and the transformation into a thriving, high-performing school.
