Educators can get really down on themselves throughout their career. There are so many factors that make up their feeling of worth that they get distracted and bogged down by any ‘No’ that comes their way. But mistakes and failures aren’t actually as bad as they seem.

July 20, 2015 6: Plan, Prepare, & Produce
Being a teacher is hard stuff. There are many moving parts to be an effective educator. Three main ways to increase the chances that you become a GREAT teacher is to plan, prepare and produce. Learn what these three words mean and hear real examples from real teachers who are doing these things right now in classrooms across the nation.
Quotables

* Planning- In order to do something great in the moment, you need to plan for it behind the scenes.
* Preparing- Although this might sound the same as planning, its not. Once you plan for what you want, you must gather all that is required to do it well- this might be physical materials or just spending time practicing.
* Producing- Now its time to execute what you have planned and prepared. Go produce.

July 13, 2015 5: You Have to Finish
Whether you are a teacher in distress in your current position or a teacher in transition trying to figure out your next steps, this podcast reminds you that you have to stay in the game so you can finish and finish big. Nothing worth doing is worth giving up on before you are finished seeing it through. Come get a dose of encouragement to finish!
Quotables:

* Why you can’t quit
* My pastor always says, “Don’t compare your behind the scenes to someone else’s highlight reel.”
* Step into your Stream
* Add value not repeat value
* Take a step. Watch for growth and celebrate it.
* What awaits you at the finish is far beyond what you could imagine for yourself and well worth all the pain that occurred along the way

July 06, 2015 4: Conversing with Purpose
Learn to lead your colleagues effectively by having difficult conversations that matter most.
Quotables

If you’re frustrated with something a colleague did or said, you owe it to them to let them know.
You could have had a conversation, although awkward at first would prove productive for work relationships
These conversations are worth having, create healthier working relationships, and save time that was originally spent being frustrated on focusing on the important work ahead.
