EdVantage (with David Young) Podcast

Weekly podcast for school and district leaders in education

[CKEC @CKYEC]

✅ Day 1
💤 Prep for Day 2
See you tomorrow at EDUCON!

[David Young @DavidYo333]

Inspiring keynote today by @casas_jimmy at @CKYEC’s Central KY EDUCON! Truly one of the best I’ve heard. Practical, down to earth, real talk about how we (the adults) shape the culture of the school to get the absolute best out of ourselves and our students! #CKYEDUCON2026

[EdVantage (with David Young) Podcast @EdVantageEd]

Great insight here. Staying power for high-performing schools is rare, but it is possible. Established expectations for “the way we do things around here”, a focus on implementing those expectations, & avoiding new fads are crucial. Excellent work by @rpondiscio.

[Robert Pondiscio @rpondiscio]

If you had to predict whether a high-performing school would still be going strong ten years from now, what would you look for? I would *not* be persuaded by a charismatic principal or superstar teachers.

Principals are vital to student success & @Williamdp does a fantastic job supporting them. It was an honor to talk with him about specific steps & strategies school leaders can take to unlock academic achievement. #principalmatters #edleadership #unlockingacademicachievement

[EdVantage (with David Young) Podcast @EdVantageEd]

It was quite a blessing to spend time with my friend @Williamdp as a guest on the Principal Matters podcast. We discussed my book, Unlocking Academic Achievement, as well as the vital role that school principals play. Listen here: https://t.co/1DSW2ICUl7

[EdVantage (with David Young) Podcast @EdVantageEd]

@teacherhead This is on 🎯! Well said! I think the key barriers are the difficultly level (change is hard) & that it requires persistence over a long period of time. When schools commit and focus, though, it’s a game-changer for learning outcomes - with a ripple effect to other key areas.

[EdVantage (with David Young) Podcast @EdVantageEd]
