It's time to start looking at younger teachers as a place where we can develop leadership.

Two young educators, Brittany Griffith and Meredith Frey, join host Jon Eckert. Brittany is a teacher in Frisco and Meredith is a teacher in San Antonio. Today, they discuss what has made them passionate about their education careers and what has pushed them to gain their master's degrees in Educational Leadership.

To learn more, order Jon's book, Just Teaching: Feedback, Engagement, and Well-Being for Each Student.

The Just Schools Podcast is brought to you by the Baylor Center for School Leadership. Each week, we'll talk to catalytic educators who are doing amazing work.

Be encouraged.
