Gather 'round for a holiday treat as I have a sometimes serious, sometimes lighthearted conversation with my colleagues and friends, educators Josh Watkins & David Carmichael. They unwrap the tales of their educational journey from the frontlines of the classroom to the helm of school administration. Reminiscing on our shared past, this episode stitches together personal narratives with professional wisdom, celebrating our triumphs in enhancing school performance and diving into the motivations that steered some of us toward leadership roles. You'll hear the heartwarming transition of Josh from a business career to special education success and David's crescendo from a middle school band maestro to a key administrative player.
Settle into the warmth of our conversation as we confront the hurdles of contemporary education, from the pervasive shadow of social media on student well-being to the mounting wave of homeschooling. The dialogue opens up about the often-overlooked apathy within parents, the battle to uphold accountability, and the dance of empowering educators while bolstering student support. Expect an honest exchange about the strategies we've employed to cultivate enduring bonds within our school communities and how our teaching roots deeply influence our approach to leadership.
