About this listen
In this episode of Great Leaders, Great Schools, host Dana Vignale welcomes Jeff Skowronek, Executive Director of Pepin Academies, to discuss how this innovative charter school network empowers students with learning disabilities to thrive. Jeff shares his philosophy of "making the box bigger"—leveraging education, therapeutic services, and inclusive practices to meet students where they are and unlock their full potential.
Learn how Pepin Academies' unique therapeutic educational model and transitional program prepare students not just for graduation, but for life. Jeff also reflects on his leadership journey, strategies for teacher retention, and the power of focusing on strengths rather than deficits.
Whether you're an educator, school leader, or advocate for exceptional students, this inspiring conversation is packed with insights that challenge conventional thinking about education and inclusion.
