As educators, we love the flexibility in our typically tightly-structured schedule that comes along with school holidays. But, if we were really being honest with ourselves, we usually function best with a schedule and a mountain of things on our to-do list.

I find that sometimes the show starts out a little slow, but really packs a powerful punch. It packs a powerful punch for reflection, for next steps, and how principals can really stop, reflect, and take steps toward challenging themselves to improve. Challenging their staff to improve. They share techniques that we can use to improve, that we teach our staff, and then intern our staff teaches students. I love the quotes the ladies share. I also love their resources. I’ve really enjoyed finding this podcast! Thank you for putting this together! It is definitely needed. And it is helping me to reflect and think about my next steps and how to be an effective, powerful leader. Thank you. I was losing my mojo, I think you guys are helping me to find it again!

Great way for principles to reflect and think about what to do next!
