This season, they explore a particularly unique perspective in thought leadership in K-12 education: humanizing the role of the superintendent. Throughout the many conversations we continue to have with superintendents, a clear theme has emerged about the need to bring more humanity to the role of the superintendency. In this special podcast series, we interview current and former superintendents and researchers to pursue the core question: how can we better see superintendents as real people navigating complex challenges to provide the best possible education for our K-12 students? We dig deeper into how this important work can help build community, invite collaboration and increase widespread engagement. Our lineup includes Dr. Susan Enfield of The Network of Distinguished Educators, Dr. Rainey Briggs of the Baraboo School District in Wisconsin, Dr. Randy Mahlerwein of Mesa Public Schools in Arizona, Dr. Adam Clark from Mt. Diablo Unified School District in California and Rachel S. White, the Associate Professor of Educational Leadership & Policy at the University of Texas at Austin (and many others) as part of the “Superintendent Series: Humanizing the Role of the Superintendent.” Tune in for new episodes every other Thursday, available on Spotify, iTunes, or your preferred listening platformt as we explore humanizing the role of the superintendent in K-12 education. Watch for episodes every other Thursday on Spotify, iTunes, or whatever platform you listen. We look forward to exploring thought leadership in education on this season of Build Momentum!", "category": "School Leadership", "topics": [ "School Leadership", "Leadership", "School Improvement" ], "audience": "K–12 educators", "cadence": "", "image": "https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Podcasts211/v4/00/e1/09/00e10932-6c34-3ed3-7903-9984fe091d4d/mza_8095707866099137867.jpg/600x600bb.jpg", "publisher": { "type": "Organization", "name": "SWPR Group" }, "platformLinks": [ { "platform": "Apple Podcasts", "url": "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/build-momentum-for-education-k-12-superintendent-series/id1550403676", "discoverySource": "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/build-momentum-for-education-k-12-superintendent-series/id1550403676" }, { "platform": "Podcast website", "url": "https://buildmomentum.buzzsprout.com/", "discoverySource": "https://rss.buzzsprout.com/1350046.rss" }, { "platform": "RSS feed", "url": "https://rss.buzzsprout.com/1350046.rss", "discoverySource": "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/build-momentum-for-education-k-12-superintendent-series/id1550403676" } ], "host": { "type": "Person", "name": "Sarah Williamson & Chad Bolser", "jobTitle": "", "homepageLocation": "", "description": "", "url": "https://www.k12podcasts.com/hosts/sarah-williamson-chad-bolser" }, "listen": { "website": "https://buildmomentum.buzzsprout.com/", "applePodcasts": "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/build-momentum-for-education-k-12-superintendent-series/id1550403676", "spotify": null, "youtube": null }, "alsoOn": [], "interactionStatistic": { "episodesListed": 115, "episodesIndexed": 115 }, "episode": [ { "type": "PodcastEpisode", "position": 115, "name": "S05E15 - Balancing Two Districts and One Mission: A Journey Through Leadership and Change | Dr. Matthew Montgomery, Superintendent", "url": "https://www.k12podcasts.com/podcasts/build-momentum-for-education/s05e15-balancing-two-districts-and-one-mission-a-journey-through-leadership-and-", "datePublished": "2025-05-22", "dateText": "2025-05-22", "duration": null, "durationText": "2138", "description": "In this episode of Build Momentum, we are joined by Dr. Matthew Montgomery, the current superintendent of two school districts, Lake Forest Community High School District 115 and Lake Forest Elementary District 67, for almost four years.
