EPISODE 256
Why Some Teachers Resist Your Support (and what you can do about it)
Biggest Takeaways You Don't Want to Miss:
- We tend to feed what we need. In other words, we often offer teachers the support WE would want if we were in their shoes rather than the support they actually need.
- The way we were trained to support teachers often creates resentment on both sides.
- We need to stop treating teachers as if they are broken and it’s our job to fix them. That’s not support.
- The moment you stop trying to fix teachers and truly support them is the moment they become partners instead of projects.
- Somebody needs to hear this: You don’t have to play the super hero in order to be an effective principal.
Have you ever offered teachers support only to have them complain about it later? If so, then today’s episode is for you.
Find out the reason teachers often resist our support (and it’s NOT because they’re resistant to change) and how the way we were trained to offer support actually creates resentment on both sides.
Then, discover the simple phrase Builders use to enlist teachers as partners in their own support and how you can offer teachers the exact support they need every time #LikeABuilder.
