In this newest podcast, hosts Davey Johnson and Angela Jones discuss Dr. Howie Knoff's recent Blog that addresses the significant shifts in education policy under the Trump administration over its first two months in office. These changes include staff reductions and reallocations at the U.S. Department of Education, and relate to school choice prioritization, alterations to DEI and civil rights enforcement, the cancellation of many grants nationwide to states, universities, and school districts. Knoff advises educational leaders to implement eight "future-proofing" strategies to navigate these uncertainties. These strategies encompass revisitingmission statements, streamlining operations, strengthening governance, investing in evidence-based practices, prioritizing professional development, enhancing community engagement, building local partnerships, and diversifyingfunding. Angela and Davey discuss these strategies and emphasize the importance of a clear and adaptable mission statement. They also provide a framework for developing a strategic Public Relations Plan to communicate school strengths. Ultimately, this Plan helps educational leaders ensure that their institutions not only survive but thrive amidst a changing educational landscape. Angela and Davey conclude by stating that schools and other educational settings need to take active steps now to be in the strongest and most advantageous position to not just respond to today’s unprecedented shifts in policies and resources, but to stay ahead of them.
