In the past year, school leaders have faced a constant need to innovate and respond to rapidly changing conditions in their communities, our nation and our world. Now we’re all seeking ways to bring healing and strength to our schools in the year ahead. But what else can we learn from these challenging times, and what inspiration can we draw for the future of schools? Tim Fish, NAIS Chief Innovation Officer, is teaming up with Lisa Kay Solomon, author, educator and designer of strategic conversations for leaders, to host a new podcast that will probe the questions that matter most right now.
One thing is certain: The world will continue to be complex and ever-changing. This moment can inspire us to approach the future with resilience, curiosity and belief in new possibilities. NAIS New View EDU will support school leaders in finding those new possibilities and understanding that evolving challenges require compassionate and dynamic solutions. We’re engaging brilliant leaders from both inside and outside the education world to explore the larger questions about what schools can be, and how they can truly serve our students, leaders and communities. From neuroscience to improvisation, Afrofuturism to architecture, our guests bring unexpected new lenses to considering the challenges and opportunities facing schools. No prescriptions, no programs -- New View EDU is providing inspiration to ask new questions, dig into new ideas, and find new answers to the central question: “How can we use what we’ve learned to explore the future of what our schools are for?"

Episode 76: The Promise, Possibility, and Power of Adolescence
With George Abalekpor and Eleanor Daugherty
Available September 30, 2025
As educators, we are always focused on ways to help our students thrive as they move through the K-12 experience and beyond. But often, we inadvertently frame adolescence as a period characterized by problems and challenges, rather than a developmental moment that can be inherently powerful and positive. How do we reframe how we think about adolescence, how we build the student experience for teens, and how we can focus on the work we are doing to ensure that our students transition from our schools to higher education with a full sense of their own agency? George Abalekpor and Eleanor Daugherty of Georgetown University join host Debra Wilson to share their wisdom.
