Unfiltered Education
By Educators. For Educators.
Public education is facing new challenges, and it is time for honest conversations about what school districts are up against.
Unfiltered Education is hosted by Brian J. Stephens, CEO and founder of Caissa K12, an organization that helps public school districts strengthen enrollment, recruitment, retention and family engagement.
Through candid conversations with superintendents, policymakers and education leaders, the podcast explores the biggest issues affecting public schools today, including chronic absenteeism, declining enrollment, student recruitment, funding challenges and policy changes.
Each episode goes beyond the headlines to share real experiences, practical strategies and solutions public school leaders can use in their own communities.
