In the first episode, I talk with Rodney Watson, Ph.D., executive director of Region 4 ESC in Houston, Texas, who was one of my first high school students from the beginning of my educational journey 30+ years ago. Rodney reminds us of the power of building connections with students and how belongingness can change students' lives. He also discusses what he sees as The Fierce Urgency of NOW in Today's Schools.
