  • 132. Principal Ed Survival Guide: Featuring Dr. Rachael George
    As an administrator, there are days that can feel lonely and overwhelming, especially when you are new in the position. This week’s guest, Rachel George, shares her administrative struggles and humorous experiences to explain the key ingredients to flourish as a leader. 
    In this episode, we discuss:
    • Why it’s important to focus on our purpose
    • Focusing and building on our strengths 
    • The keys to finding multiple mentors
    • And her new book, “Principal Ed: The Educator’s Survival Guide”

    • About Rachael George:
      From fighting wildland fires with the U.S. Forest Service to putting out fires in the classroom, education was the last place that Rachael thought she’d end up.  It wasn’t until a hard conversation with a base manager in Grangeville, Idaho did Rachael realize she needed to put her chainsaw down and make a bigger impact on the world.  
      Rachael is a member of the ASCD Emerging Leaders Class of 2015, an NAESP Fellow, and currently serves as the principal of Sandy Grade School in the Oregon Trail School District.  Over the past seven years, Sandy Grade School has moved from being one of the lowest-ranked elementary schools in the state of Oregon to performing in the top 20% of elementary schools.  Sandy Grade School has been recognized by the International Center for Leadership in Education (ICLE) as a Model School for closing the achievement gap.  
      Prior to serving as an elementary principal, she was a middle school principal of an “outstanding” and two-time “Level 5: Model School” as recognized by the State of Oregon.  Rachael specializes in curriculum development, instructional improvement as well as working with at-risk students and closing the achievement gap.  Connect with Rachael on Twitter @DrRachaelGeorge.

        • 131. Small Bites of Equity Strategies: Featuring Hedreich Nichols
          In a time where current events have created strong emotions, how are we able to have conversations about racism, equity, and injustice? This week’s guest, Hedreich Nichols, shares strategies she uses to facilitate difficult conversations, empower student’s voices, and increase equity in schools. 
          In this episode, we discuss:
          • Asking important questions about who else was apart of our country’s history
          • Making sure we have opportunities to share and celebrate people of color
          • Hedreich’s books on Ant-Racism and Black Lives Matter
          • And an exciting “Small Bites” announcement

          • About Hedreich Nichols:
            Hedreich Nichols, author, educator, and host of the YouTube series on equity strategies for educators, #SmallBites, is a retired Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter who uses her experiences as a “one Black friend” to help others understand race, equity, and the whys and hows of becoming more culturally responsive educators. Her YouTube series Small Bites is one way she reaches educators striving to create more inclusive spaces.
            As an edtech teacher, Hedreich uses design thinking and project-based learning to empower students to become agents of change. Their student-led projects to provide them with opportunities to connect with local and global communities through podcasts, service-learning, and advocacy campaigns. Her work as district lead teacher and course writer makes a path for CTE students across the district to have the same real-world learning opportunities.
            In addition to teaching and hosting #SmallBites, Hedreich just finished two books for Cherry Lake publishing’s middle school Racial Justice in America library series, and she is currently writing a book on strategies to help teachers reduce bias in classrooms, due out next year.
            When not teaching, writing, or speaking on social justice issues, Hedreich spends time reading, being a mom to @swisschrisonbass, and spending time with friends, family, and god-dog Harper.

                It’s All About the Dash

                The Dash Podcast started as a way to add value consistently for free. In our first 72 episodes, we had challenging conversations on how to turn the pain in your life into your platform for the purpose.

                Today we feature educator’s who facilitate solutions for school communities. With over 150 episode’s the Dash is on its way to being a leading education podcast. Visit the podcast page to check out some of my favorite episodes.

                Working with GCG

                We believe in Asset-based personal and professional development, an approach that puts the person first. Highlighting and identifying the talents, skills, strengths, resources, and the asset’s that currently exist to maximize the potential of your organization. Our work with educators: While SEL is emerging as a standard across the United States it’s easy to forget that adult’s need social and emotional learning skills too.

                In the classroom, you teach who you are so understanding how you show up for your student’s changes the dynamic of your classroom and school community.

                We deliver a systematic adult SEL with data-driven and personal results. Programs include Getting Unstuck: 4 steps to your best you, Communication keys: Delivering effective feedback, and Redirecting Student Behavior: Restorative SEL practices to use in your classroom.

                Our work with student’s: We focus on the other side of the report card, developing SEL skill’s with our school-wide, and classroom SEL implementation, but also provide direct instruction and curriculum to students. College & Career exploration to prep middle & high school student’s for individual graduation plans, Leadership & Communication curriculum that explores, mindset, communication, public speaking, team building, and leadership. And Every Decision Counts: 8 lessons I wish they taught me in school, a social and emotional learning workbook for middle and high school student’s. This 55 page book is great for classroom interventions or whole group lesson study.

                Our work with Parents: There’s no place like home, parent’s are the key to our children’s future. Prepare Your Child’s Education can be a keynote speech or full day training that delivers impactful storytelling, lesson’s, strategies, and skills that round out our engagement with your entire school community.

                We are here to cultivate school community resources to bridge gaps in communication access and opportunity. Visit the shop or contact page to set up a complimentary conversation on how we can bridge gaps in your school community.
