Principal Inspiration
Education today can be difficult and draining and amazing and fulfilling and so many things all wrapped into one. The dynamics of what we do can leave us needing every ounce of inspiration and motivation we can get. I have been a principal and educator for over 25 years, and I find my motivation and inspiration in many different places. As a principal I often find it my job to inspire and motivate and energize the team around me. I have to be the principle inspiration in my school. But what things inspire me as a principal. Welcome to Principal Inspiration, a podcast for educators. These are the people, stories, anecdotes, observations, conversations, and thoughts that are my principle inspiration on any given day. My sincere hope in sharing is that you might be inspired as well. I hope this podcast leaves you feeling energized, challenged, and ready to go be awesome! Our students deserve nothing less.
