Episode 75 - School Leadership in the Wake of Multiple Traumas w/ Yusuf Abdullah

School Leadership in the Wake of Multiple Traumas w/ Yusuf Abdullah

Being a school leader is hard enough, but doing so in the midst of a pandemic and from the epicenter of a national reckoning around race and police violence makes the work doubly challenging and important. This week we’re joined by Yusuf Abdullah, principal of Patrick Henry High School in North Minneapolis, to discuss his experience leading in the wake of multiple traumas. Henry High School is considered by U.S. News & World Report the number one high school in Minneapolis Public Schools and is right next door to Brooklyn Center, where former student Daunte Wright was slain by an officer this past April. We explore how Principal Abdullah’s school community has managed during this traumatic year and what he has learned about being a school leader. But first, Jeff and Manuel take a look at recent headlines in education including two major Supreme Court rulings impacting student speech and college athlete compensation.
