In this episode of the LinkedUp Podcast, we sit down with Dan Pfaff, Digital Learning Coordinator for Shelby County Public Schools in Kentucky, to explore how his district is redefining accountability and student success.
Shelby County has taken a bold, community-driven approach by developing a Benefits-Based Accountability model—one that prioritizes local needs over standardized metrics. A key element of this model is the Profile of a Graduate, shaped by the voices of students, families, and community members. Dan’s insights highlight the power of local accountability, community collaboration, and innovative learning models in shaping the future of education. This episode is a must-listen for educators, district leaders, and anyone passionate about creating meaningful, student-centered learning experiences.
