.
Imagine a calm beach day, preferably Savage Ditch, Delaware, where you can drive onto the beach and enjoy an incredible experience of sun and sand. Imagine this, though, you're swimming close to shore in the refreshing water when suddenly, a powerful current pulls you out to sea. This is the unnerving reality of an ocean riptide, and you can’t see them coming and you can’t fight your way out of them. But did you know these hidden currents have a surprising parallel in the world of education?
Educational leaders, much like beachgoers, can find themselves caught in unexpected challenges – swirling currents of change, budget constraints, or evolving student needs. Just like fighting a riptide is futile, these challenges demand a different strategy.
In this podcast, you’ll learn about the following 3 Strategies to Navigate the Current:
Develop a culture of open communication
Develop a culture of continuous improvement
Develop a culture of self-development.
Don't get swept away! Tune in and learn the secrets to leading through educational riptides.
This podcast offers actionable strategies for:
Building trust and a unified school community
Moving beyond the common notion that "we've always done it this way"
Creating systems that reinforce a culture of continuous learning and growth
Leading by example through self-development
Our goal is to be able to help school leaders discover how to effectively navigate the educational riptides and chart a course for success in your school.

A Three-Pronged Approach to Building an Environment that Attracts and Retains Talented Teachers

A Three-Pronged Approach to Building an Environment that Attracts and Retains Talented Teachers
In this episode the Leading Better and Growing Faster podcast for school leaders, Joe and T.J. tackle strategies for building an environment where teachers want to work and want to stay.
As our good friend, Principal EL, always says, “trying to find, hire, and retain teachers is like the hunger games.” There is definitely a shortage of qualified teachers, so it is imperative that we hang onto the ones we have. To do so, every school leader must actively work to create an environment where teachers thrive.
We recommend a multifaceted approach:
First and foremost, celebrating and praising the dedication and hard work of educators is paramount. Recognize their achievements, both big and small, not only to boost morale but also to reaffirm their value in the school community.
Secondly, finding more time for teachers to engage in professional development, collaboration, and self-care is crucial. We know it’s difficult, but school leaders must uncover ways to reduce the unnecessary administrative burden placed on staff, prioritizing time for their growth and renewal.
Lastly, creating leadership opportunities within the school empowers teachers to take ownership of their roles, fostering a sense of purpose and investment in their work.
This three-pronged approach is grounded in celebration, time management, and leadership cultivation.
In the episode, T.J. digs into one the communication feedback models that we work with school districts on, including Specific Praise. The challenge is that managers believe they do this, but most workers disagree.
Joe doubles down on the need for the 3Rs: Recuperate, Rejuvenate, and Regroup. Leaders often mistake downtime as wasted time, a major mistake. We suggest finding time for staff to achieve the 3Rs at work and beyond. The key is to communicate the goal and intended usage of the time provided for them.
Lastly, don’t forget to lift your influential teachers. They can galvanize school culture, but they should be developed as well. Do not leave their growth to chance. Find ways to give them leadership experiences and avenues to grow as a leader.
Achieve the aforementioned strategies and you will be well on your way to developing the school culture where teachers thrive.
