In this episode of “What Does George Say,” Couros answers a question about time barriers in education. Couros shares a key point raised -  overwhelming demands placed on teachers without adequate support, which leads to a need for sustainable practices. Couros shares a strategy that he used as a principal to support teachers who consistently have tasks added to their plates.

Question:

“… a pattern I have been noticing among my educator colleagues is their frustrated comments on the 'barrier of time'. Our system has begun an assessment initiative, and although it has been well-received thus far, based on feedback from the teacher advocates, I foresee a plateau (or even decline) on our learning journey due to the previously mentioned 'lack of time' reality. What are some of your suggestions/recommendations to overcome this barrier/obstacle?” - Lisa from Canada
