Exceptional school leaders are changing the narrative of what is possible in schools simply by focusing on how they use their time: what they do and how and when they do it. Mr. Carothers' passion is collaborating with teachers and administrators to improve skills in instructional coaching. He has successfully led the transformation of systems from low-performing to high performance organizations throughout Texas. This transformation is always focused on changing adult behavior and practice through job-embedded ongoing coaching and feedback. Growing reflective leaders and teachers is his primary mission in education.
