This is the wired educator podcast episode 214, my interview with Brad Gustafson. Brad is an amazing educational leader, an award winning principal and the author of a fantastic new book titled The Six Literacy Levers. We talk about literacy leadership, The Swiss-Army Knife of Literacy, Shiny Book Report Syndrome, and so much more! Brad was on the Wired
Educator Podcast way back in episode 121 where we talked about his book Reclaiming Our Calling. Now Brad is back with a brand new book focused on Literacy. Literacy is something I am personally passion about and something I’m professionally working on with my district. I am so excited to share this interview with you.
We talk about:
It doesn’t matter what you teach. It doesn’t matter what your role is in education. This episode is absolutely for you. But before I share this amazing interview with you there’s something I wanna tell you about.
Dr. Brad Gustafson is an award-winning principal, best-selling author, speaker, and avid reader. Brad's newest book The 6 Literacy Levers, is a practitioner-friendly guide to championing readers--from anywhere in your school or organization. He also wrote Reclaiming Our Calling and Renegade Leadership. All of Brad's books are built on the belief that everything we do starts with relationships and connectedness. When Brad isn't in school, there's a good chance he's being schooled. He enjoys anything that's competitive including fishing, pickleball, ping pong, playing hearts, and battling Pokémon with his son. You can also find Brad with his high school sweetheart and their three kids spending time on the lake, reading, and writing.
