“We’re…breaking the barrier, and that means we have to bring up other folks in terms of our ability to both mentor and sponsor other women of color.”
Superintendents Carol Birks (Allentown School District, Pennsylvania) and Heather Tow-Yick (Issaquah School District, Washington) connect over the importance of mentorship, sponsorship, and “opening up networks of possibility”for other women of color aspiring to positions of leadership in the education sector.
Birks and Tow-Yick are both members of the Digital Promise League of Innovative Schools, a national network of school districts that connects and supports the most forward-thinking leaders in education. Through their membership, Birks and Tow-Yick have opportunities to tap into a “network of big brains, big thinkers, and big dreamers, and an infrastructure of support that can spark and accelerate” innovative practices.
