- [You Say Summer, We Say… School Leader Evaluation!](https://www.edfuel.org/talent-talks-blog/you-say-summer-we-say-school-leader-evaluation/): Happy summer, everyone! You may be thinking about pools and popsicles, but when the end of the school year rolls around, we are reminded that it’s time to evaluate the head of your school! (Well, ok, we think caps and gowns too.) One of the most important responsibilities of the board of a public charter school is to evaluate the Head of School. Boards are ultimately responsible for the academic, operational, and financial health and success of the school, yet they do not (and should not!) manage the day-to-day operations of the school, hire the staff, or teach the students. When you sit in the governance seat, the Head of School evaluation process is the board’s most powerful opportunity to exercise effective oversight and hold the school accountable for academic, financial, and operational success.

- [The Power of Convening: EdFuel’s 2019 D.C. Talent Summit](https://www.edfuel.org/talent-talks-blog/the-power-of-convening-edfuels-2019-d-c-talent-summit/): In many organizations, talent leaders often do their work in a silo or are members of very small talent teams where the chance to collaborate is limited. Additionally, talent leaders often take on multiple workstreams (recruitment, hiring, the retention…the list goes on!) and thus their time is scarce, which can mean that opportunities to grow and learn can be minimal. As a result, we hear from talent leaders about high levels of turnover on their teams, the feeling of stagnation or loneliness, and less effective practices because of limited time to grow and learn.

- [Why Talent Work Matters For Our LGBT Students](https://www.edfuel.org/talent-talks-blog/why-talent-work-matters-for-our-lgbt-students/): As we close out LGBT History Month, it seemed like a great time to reflect on how critical talent work is for our LGBT students, particularly those who are bullied or silenced based on their identity. For me, this is deeply personal because I was one.
