Are you ready for valuable insights from Dr. Carrie Hepburn from Compass PD? 
Imagine a world where your professional workload doesn't feel like a crushing burden! This episode focuses on the demanding duties of educators and offers a fresh perspective on maintaining a sustainable workload. Hear Dr. Hepburn's enlightening account of a curriculum team's exercise that aimed at understanding the impact of changes and expectations on elementary teachers. She emphasizes the importance of deep, multifaceted learning in a world overloaded with resources and technology. Remember, 'blue sky thinking' is not just a jargon; it's a space where your imagination runs free to dream about the future of learning. 

The episode encourages listeners to reflect during winter break, set realistic goals, and take control of different aspects of their lives.  As the year ends and winter break looms, we encourage you to catch your breath and reflect on your journey. We suggest two transformative reads - "Atomic Habits" and "The Four Disciplines of Execution" that can help shape your habits and bring clarity to your goals.

As the episode ends, we leave you with a warm wish for a restful winter break and a gentle nudge to keep the flame for education burning brightly.
