She earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Applied Human Science, a Masters of Arts in Teaching from East Tennessee State University and an Education Specialist Degree in Education Leadership.
Brad Corum previously served as a Teacher, Assistant Principal and Principal for Karns Middle, Karns High School and Carter High School.
Our speakers will provide an overview of 865 Academies and how they are transforming our high schools. Knox County Schools partnered with Ford Next Generation Learning and Knox Education Foundation to foster a community conversation around college and career preparedness and the types of experiences, skills and competencies our students need to truly be ready for success beyond high school graduation, whether that means enrolling in college or trade school, enlisting in service to their country, or gaining employment in a local high-ware, high skill and in-demand profession with an entrepreneurial mindset.
Brad and Windy work together to connect industry experts and partners with KCS students. We know students strive when learning is challenging, hands-on and relevant to their future goals and aspirations. They have data they want to share as they are halfway through year 3 of the program implementation. They will facilitate a conversation on how people can get involved and how every “yes” is a capital “YES” because of the impact on our students.
The meeting will also serve as our Annual Meeting where the membership will vote on new Board members and address other business as needed.
