A Network Connecting School Leaders From Around The Globe
Lisa Brady - Leadership: Fear Based or Future Focused?
Lisa Brady, EdD is the Superintendent at Dobbs Ferry Union Free School District. She is passionate about creating schools that embrace change, foster collaborative learning and where communities of thinkers thrive because of a shared love of learning.
She received an EdD from Seton Hall University in 2007. Brady comes to Dobbs Ferry after serving four years as superintendent in the Hunterdon Central Regional High School in Flemington, NJ; she had a 25-year career in public education in that state.
She has received the McGovern Award for National Leadership in Drug Abuse Prevention, New Jersey Student Assistance Counselors Award for Leadership in Drug Abuse Prevention, National Student Assistance Award for Journalism Excellence, Hunterdon County Chamber of Commerce Business Person of the Year Award 2009.
Brady believes that rather than compare Dobbs Ferry to other schools and one grade level to another, the district has to look at each individual child and how he or she is improving from year to year.
"Our goal has to be making sure each individual child reaches his or her full potential," Brady said.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
