Episode 105 - CAUTION: Curves Ahead
Things happen. School happens! Changes will take place. Our path is a curvy one, with unending surprises. We have choices to make. Because we are responsible for the outcome, no matter what caused the change. How we handle the unexpected is the most accurate revelation of our true character.
In this episode of the Educators Among Us podcast, host Scott Barron, Chief Reinvention Officer with School Growth, discusses the vital role of trust and resilience among educators, and the necessary skills needed to anticipate and manage change. He uses the metaphor of navigating curves in life to illustrate the challenges educators face and emphasizes the importance of adaptability, perspective, and collaboration in overcoming these obstacles. Through stories of the astronauts who experienced significant unexpected issues in their 9-month extended Space Station mission, and through personal reflections, he encourages educators to embrace setbacks as opportunities for growth and to foster a supportive community for all.
How will we handle the curveballs that will inevitably come our way? That is the focus of this episode of the Educators Among Us Podcast.
