PODCAST

Moving from Hope to Action

In this episode, Dr. Christi Barrett of Hemet Unified School District reminds us that “Hope is not a plan.” She emphasizes that for meaningful improvement, leaders must channel hope into purposeful actions. Dr. Janet Pilcher talks with Christi about Hemet’s ongoing improvement journey, focusing on recent classroom initiatives. Christi discusses the importance of building trust with all stakeholders and how, once trust is secured, intentional actions are significantly enhancing student learning across the district.
