Back to EpisodesApplying Lessons Learned in HR to Being a Superintendent with Gabe Simon
Description
Dr. Gabriel Simon took an unconventional path to becoming a district superintendent. He spent over a decade as a successful principal before serving briefly as a Superintendent/Principal in a small rural district. He then transitioned back the district office as an Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources, where he worked as the Assistant Superintendent in three different districts.
In this episode I chat with Dr. Simon about what he learned dealing with parents, teachers, and unitions during his years in HR that has helped him in his new role leading a K-12 district.
Dr. Simon is the author of Building Student Resilience, K-8: Strategies to Overcome Risk and Adversity, available from Corwin Books.
