S5 E1 | Create Your Own Luck with Dr. Jeremy Owoh

Season 5 begins with Dr. Jeremy Owoh, Superintendent of Jacksonville North Pulaski School District, President of the ISTE+ASCD Board of Directors, and author of Create Your Own Luck: How Leaders Leverage the Intersection of Preparation and Opportunity.

Jeremy joins Dr. Jorge Valenzuela to discuss his journey from the classroom to the superintendent’s office, the challenges facing today’s school leaders, and what it takes to create meaningful transformation across a school system.

They explore the alignment of curriculum, instruction, and technology; the growing role of AI in schools; what leaders should look for when they enter classrooms; and why technology should support—not become the centerpiece of—teaching and learning.

Jeremy also explains what it means to “create your own luck,” how preparation and opportunity intersect, and what educators can do to position themselves for the next stage of their careers.

A conversation about leadership, preparation, opportunity, and keeping teaching and learning at the center of educational innovation.
