Authority Issues

In this episode, rachel, Kendall, and Ellen Mary talk about: * Group dynamics and being a younger sibling * Leadership in a classroom of 4th graders * Self care when there are no filters on what your students say and do * Moving into teaching reform work * The role of process and where it isn't enough * Being uncomfortable and why you had better get used to it * Identifying the "language of value" for your audience * Wearing many, MANY hats as a Senior Director * How managing and disciplining and firing teachers differs from other industries * Why an effective hiring process is crucial because of the above * How leadership in the classroom is different from just giving a lecture * Setting up a team to support addressing conflicts * How real leaders shouldn't need to 'wield' authority You can find Ellen Mary on LinkedIn as emhickmann :) Special thanks to Mel Stanley for our theme music
