New Superintendent Elizabeth Grant wants the Salt Lake City School District to lead the state in student accomplishments — which, she said, also will make it an appealing place to work 'for talented teachers and leaders.”
. Grant said that while the district is “going to have a history,” her goal is to look towards the future.
“Education has long sat in the middle of community currents and political currents, and it will continue to do so,” Grant said. “I think the remedy for uncivil discourse is more conversation.”From the time when Michael Feuer met Grant over a decade ago, he saw that she was someone who always worked towards improving the education for youth.
“Everything that Liz worked on at [George Washington] had that kind of very special flavor of somebody who had her experience in the classroom,” he said. “[She] knew how to engage with teachers and students and principals and district level officials in the District of Columbia, which is not necessarily the easiest environment to work in.”
“Liz helped us develop some very innovative ideas for engaging people who were passionate about the possibility of a career in education,” Feuer said. “Giving them the kinds of tools and the opportunities to really become accomplished, professional decision makers and leaders, I think that adds up to something that will be very useful in Salt Lake.”
“One of the reasons Salt Lake has so much promise is because we’re surrounded by so many incredible institutions and people doing remarkable things,” she said. “We’re looking for the right pathways for opportunity for our students, and we can’t do that alone.”
