Join co-hosts Charles Williams (Principal, Plato Learning Academy) and Michael McWilliams (Principal, Savannah Elementary) as they welcome. Dr. Sheryl Randolph (Author, Speaker, Education Consultant, Life Coach) and Zak Cohen (Middle School Director, St. Francis School) for this episode’s discussion.
