What defines an exceptional educator? Join Terry Dubroy and Ricky Dussault as we challenge the notion that teaching success is solely defined by years spent in the classroom. Ricky is a dedicated high school teacher, coach, and mentor. We are so grateful to be able to share his incredible journey of resilience, from the mentors he had in school, to the early years of his teaching career, becoming a father, and how he navigated profound loss along the way. Discover the powerful lessons he's learned and stay tuned for Part 2 to hear the rest of his inspiring story and insights. 

Explore the many qualities and skills that truly define exceptional educators, including passion, adaptability, communication, empathy, and a commitment to lifelong learning. Personal growth and learning how to take care of yourself so you can better take care of those around you are key themes in this episode. Whether you're a seasoned educator, new to the profession, or simply wanting to better support others in your life, this discussion offers an enlightening journey into the world of educational excellence and the significance of resilience in cultivating a thriving mindset.
