    Great Podcast
    This is one of the first principal podcast I listened to as an educational leader. Jethro always has great advice and brings on amazing leaders in education. I highly recommend this podcast!

    So helpful
    I am actually a teacher and have hopes to be an AP at some point when it works out in my personal life. I believe strongly in professional development and have really enjoyed listening. I especially find the coaching sessions between Jethro and Eric useful as I gain so much insight into the realities of being a new principal and then hearing and learning experienced insights. The interviews are also interesting. I really can tell that you value what you do and I am furiously taking notes as I listen.

    One man's journey as a school leader
    I only recently got into Jethro's podcast and soon found myself hooked. I started from the beginning and quickly made it through his first year and a half. Each episode is short enough to string a few together on a long walk, drive or workout. I've learned plenty of practical tips, but feel I've gained the most from the positive and persistent outlook he and his guests present. I've noticed the immediate transfer of this knowledge and emotion in the tone with which I am able to communicate with staff and students, resonating as professional, inquisitive, optimistic and intuitively, student focused. Jethro hits the nail on the head emphasizing building relationships with teachers and fostering shared vision amongst their ranks. These two areas I feel embody the craft of transformative school leaders. In recent episodes, Jethro has articulated his vision for the podcast and his team of school leaders. He persuades listeners to start small and affect change in practical ways. For example, getting regular sleep and making time to connect intimately with those in his closest circle (wife and kids) who foster love and acceptance. I assume his intention is to galvanize potential for good vibes and a caring spirit to spill out of us and into all of our relationships. I sincerely look forward to following Jethro and the school leaders he connects with his audience. Thanks J for the service you're providing.

    A Real Leader!
    Jethro is an amazing person! What a great asset he is to all the students and staff. I wish I had a principal like him when I was in school. He is what an educator should be and sets students and staff up for success. I really enjoy listening to all the different perspectives from the people he interviews.
  • Joshua Spodek
    Jethro Jones is transforming educational leadership
    Jethro Jones brings you more than transformative leadership principles and principals. He brings you the person behind what you read about. He cares about education and leadership, as do his guests, so you learn about the motivations and passions driving them. That's what inspires you to act, not cold reporting of facts but warm, friendly, professional connections with people.
  • @DianneGrupp
    Awesome PD for Principals? Yes! And teachers too!!
    Transformative Principal is an excellent resource for growth and improvement; however, one does not have to be a principal to improve as an educator as a regular listener. Ideas/concepts presented that enable principals to be a better principal easily apply to teachers as we work with our students.

    100 — Congrats!!!
    I admire that Jethro has been at it for quite a while bringing 100 episodes of school leader PD on a consistent basis. Congrats to you Jethro and best of luck on the next 100. Jethro noted that if nothing else, this experience has taught him how to be a better principal. If you are a school leader, you owe it to yourself to develop by listening to this podcast. —Daniel Bauer @_BetterSchools

    The education evolution starts here
    Talking to principals in the trenches dealing with systems and budget while trying to educate our children. What should education evolve to in the information age? Do we still need to teach people to be factory workers?
