Remembering Brian Betts: A Bold School Leader - Pt. 1 of 4

Brian Betts was considered a rising star among Washington, DC's principals. On April 15, he was discovered fatally shot at his home in Silver Spring, MD.

This 2008 interview with Brian Betts captures his essence. Other educators can learn a lot about leadership from this interview, while parents and others will get a pretty good idea of what to look for in an instructional leader.

On one level, it may be difficult to watch, knowing that Brian is gone. On another deeper level, however, this interview keeps his spirit alive.
