Episode 128
Monday, 13 July, 2026
What does it really take to build a school system ready for the future?In this episode of Voices for Excellence, Dr. Michael Conner welcomes Dr. Tommy Welch, Deputy Superintendent of School Improvement and Strategic Initiatives for Richmond County School System, for an energising conversation about continuous improvement, artificial intelligence, and the leadership required to serve every learner well.This is not a story about chasing the next trend. It is about a district choosing to think differently about growth, mastery, opportunity, and readiness. Richmond County is reimagining how data is used, how grading reflects learning, how AI belongs inside instruction, and how schools can create stronger pathways through STEM, CTAE, and dual enrollment.At the centre of the conversation is a powerful idea: continuous improvement is not a programme. It is a mindset. And in a district marked by both wealth and poverty, that mindset matters.Tune in to hear how Richmond County is building the systems, culture, and courage to prepare students not just for graduation, but for the world ahead.
