Not Just a Title: The Real Work of a Superintendent

Описание: In this episode of On The Clock, host Todd Dallas Lamb sits down with Dr. LaTonya Goffney, Superintendent of Aldine ISD, for an inspiring and wide-ranging conversation on leadership, innovation, and equity in public education. Recorded live at the ASU+GSV Summit in San Diego, the episode explores Dr. Goffney’s journey from rural educator to national leader and her philosophy that being a superintendent is about doing the work, not chasing the title.

Dr. Goffney shares her perspective on artificial intelligence in K-12 education, viewing it not as a silver bullet but as a strategic tool to support overburdened educators and personalize learning in underserved communities. Drawing from her experience leading three distinct districts, rural, suburban, and urban, she emphasizes the importance of hiring strong teams, engaging with the community, and keeping student outcomes at the center of every decision.

The conversation also highlights Aldine ISD’s groundbreaking partnership with Memorial Hermann and the Bloomberg Foundation to combat healthcare deserts and workforce shortages. This initiative will transform a local high school into a community-based health care hub, offering hands-on training for students and services for families, a bold move that reflects Dr. Goffney’s commitment to equity and innovation.
With candid reflections on leadership, mentorship, and the deeply personal impact of education, Dr. Goffney offers a compelling blueprint for superintendents navigating today’s complex educational landscape. It’s a must-listen for anyone invested in the future of public education.
