Ep.168

Value

In this episode of The Literacy View, we have an amazing conversation with Assistant Superintendent Lynn Gaffney about why so many school initiatives fail and what actually leads to meaningful, lasting change. We dig into the realities of implementation, initiative overload, leadership decisions, and what schools need to stop doing if they want improvement efforts to truly stick.

Promise

An honest, practical conversation for educators and leaders who are tired of watching schools jump from one initiative to the next without real results. No buzzwords. No fluff. Just real talk about what actually works when it comes to improving schools and supporting students and teachers.

Bio-Lynn Gaffney is the Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum & Instruction and Chief Diversity Officer for the Watertown City School District. Passionate about empowering student success, she is committed to supporting educators, strengthening instructional practices, and creating school systems where all students can thrive academically and personally.
