RC014 A New Paradigm for School Staffing Models with Dr. Greg Martin

Dr. Greg Martin is the Upper School Dean, Perkiomen School and the Principal at Teach, Coach, Live Consulting. He has talked and written at length about boarding schools, the triple threat within them and how to make our schools better.

Dr. Greg Martin joins us this week to discuss traditional and boarding school staffing. Greg talks about the paradigm shift he sees coming and how the traditional staffing model may not fit the mold anymore.

"Where did the triple threat staffing model come from?... It exists because it had to, not because it's a great model." - Dr. Greg Martin

"You're getting a new mindset with the next generation of employees, being dropped into an older mindset of the employers...it doesn't mesh." - Dr. Greg Martin
