 71 | Spotlight: Derby Hills Elementary with James Moffett | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:57:09

As teachers, we are often at the mercy of the leadership we work under. We are often required to adopt practices and approaches that we may not fully trust or believe in. Despite the promises of every program or approach, the autonomy and judgement of the teachers - the people who know their students the best - is curtailed and distrusted. But what if there was an approach to leadership and practice that was both evidence based, while still allowing the teachers to act on their expertise and skills? Today we speak to James Moffett, principal of the Derby Hills Elementary in Kansas. James embarked on transforming the disciplinary and educational practices of the school to incorporate the research on Adverse Childhood Experiences by focusing on education the whole child, and not just for their academics.
