Podcasts for Leaderful Schools (PFLS) is produced and published by Oakland University with support from the Galileo Institute for Teacher Leadership and available on iTunes, Spotify and RSS. Additional distribution channels will be added to the Podcasts for Leaderful Schools main podcast site. The podcasts are supported and produced by Dr. Elaine Middlekauff and the Galileo team. The institute is dedicated to serving and researching the professional development needs of leaders working to improve student achievement and teacher performance from the inside out. PFLS is a resource through which educational leaders (PreK – Higher Education) may become effective practitioners who strive to understand issues of social justice, cultural competence, equity, and best practice to improve teaching and learning.
We believe that collaborative leadership in schools involves teachers and administrators working in a professional learning community. Our goal is to stimulate a world wide dialogue on the importance of creating effective learning communities centered on student success. The podcasts are targeted for leadership at all levels (teachers, school administrators, business leaders, university faculty, policy makers) and explore aspects of leadership topics through critical conversations.
