In this installment of The State of the Black Learner: SOS From the Front Lines, we talk with Dr. Stephanie Johnson, formerly known as “the turnaround principal.” Johnson joins Dr. Mark Elgart, President and CEO of Cognia, to talk all things policy, scaling opportunities for disadvantaged students, and the tension between local control and what a state can do to support schools. 

Dr. Stephanie Johnson is the Deputy Superintendent of School Improvement for Georgia.
