Episode 110 - We Are Family
Mixing families into the emotional ecosystem of a school yields predictable struggle. Schools, like families, are places where learning, growth, failure, creativity, and maturity occur. Schools are difficult by design! They contain all of the ideal ingredients needed for adversity, rumbling, and strife. It’s no wonder they, like family, are messy at best.
In this episode of the Educators Among Us podcast, host Scott Barron, Chief Reinvention Officer with School Growth talks about the complexities of school environments that resemble family dynamics.
He highlights the importance of love and resilience in navigating conflicts within educational settings, encouraging educators to embrace the messiness of growth and learning. The conversation serves as a reminder of the vital role educators play in fostering a supportive community amidst all of the challenges, similar to those found in the typical culture of a family.
