Deputy Superintendent Jenn Gennerman joins us to talk about the leadership philosophy behind one of Waukesha's most ambitious eras of district-wide improvement. Jenn traces her path from special education into system-level leadership, and explains how that background shapes the way she thinks about curricular alignment, data access, and the connective tissue between special and general education. We dig into the mindset of continuous improvement; where it came from, how she's built it into the district's operating rhythm, and why communication is the single most underrated lever in moving a school system forward. Along the way, Jenn shares the mentors and pivotal moments that shaped her, what actually makes large-scale change stick, and what she wishes more people understood about the daily work of educators.
