On the School Bus with Dr. Spates

What’s This Podcast
About?

The podcast created for TK-12 school leaders who are passionate about improving student outcomes and transforming students' school experiences.  Each week, we invite innovators in education from across the country, doing the real work in schools to hop on the school bus with Dr. Spates. Together, we explore what’s working—by tapping into each guest’s “zone of genius”—to leave you with one practical, school-tested strategy you can bring back to your learning community.  This isn’t just conversation—it’s collaboration in motion. Whether you lead from an office, a classroom, or anywhere in between, this podcast is your vehicle for creative ideas, bold leadership, and strategies that have been put to the test where it counts — in schools. Because our children, families, and communities are counting on us to lead with urgency, care, and purpose.
