Shifting Schools: Conversations for K12 Educators episodes

  • 240: New 2023 Protocols and Updates for our Podcast Family

    On this episode, Jeff and Tricia bring listeners an abundance of news.

    Up first they let listeners know that the 3rd annual collection of protocols is now available to download free.

    Jeff and Tricia talk about the many ways protocols have been helpful to them as facilitators of professional learning, as well as for their own learning, reflection, and creative processes.

    That free guide puts an emphasis not only on collaboration but also on ways we can seek to lead with belonging in mind.

    Tricia and Jeff then move on to explore and discuss the brand new podcast playlists that listeners can explore. So far there are three playlists: one on storytelling, one on the future of work, and one that looks to expand a school's professional learning library.

    Jeff also lets the community know about the new offers page where the Shifting Schools podcast family can learn more about special offers made possible through sponsors and partners.

    This is the time of year that the Shifting Schools team would love listener feedback on what they'd like to see explored further on the podcast, listeners are reminded to reach out to [email protected]

    Lastly, two brand new professional growth opportunities are shared: one for educators looking to launch the start of their consultancy, and another for leaders responsible for leading learning on campus. Interesting in being a part of the first cohorts for either? Drop Jeff and Tricia a line to learn more about pre-sale savings: [email protected]
