CHECK OUT UNAPOLOGETIC LEADERSHIP ON THE TEACH BETTER TEAM SITE
Unapologetic Leadership focuses on reflecting on the work we are doing as school leaders and challenging ourselves to grow with our experiences. Being unapologetic is a mindset and not something to look negatively upon. This podcast will allow listeners to engage in hearing from educational leaders who are ingrained in the work. Topics such as equity, diversity, inclusion, school culture, student voice, and leadership experiences are among some of the content you will hear. I will also share much of my journey in education because there are many successes and moments of growth that lend itself to real-life experiences listeners can learn from.
NEW RELEASE: THE INNOVATOR'S MINDSET
From George Couros:
Dr. Marcus Belin and George Couros share their thoughts on the response to administrators that says “that is why you make the big bucks.” Dr. Belin and Couros reflect on how administrators hear that comment and it often comes off as an excuse to treat them poorly. Couros reminds us that “it is not about top down, bottom up, it is about all hands on deck.” In the intro of this episode, Couros shares some reflections about his time as an administrator and how connecting with kids would remind him why he did what he did. Dr. Belin reflects on the struggles many administrators have and shares some powerful stories about the role he has as a principal in a school of nearly 3,000 students. No matter our role, we are all doing what is best for kids.
