In this episode the Leading Better and Growing Faster podcast for school leaders, Joe and T.J. discuss how school leaders can effectively manage the riptides found in everyday school leadership.
.
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.

Learning to Lead Like A Teacher with Miriam Plotinsky
About Miriam Plotinsky
Miriam Plotinsky is an instructional specialist with Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland, where she has taught and led for more than 20 years.
She is the author of Teach More, Hover Less, Lead Like a Teacher, and Writing Their Future Selves (W.W. Norton & Company). She is also a National Board–Certified Teacher and a certified administrator.
What You’ll Find in this Educational Leadership Podcast Episode with Miriam Plotinsky
Miriam says that her new book--Lead Like a Teacher--was pretty much an accident. She simply found that the schools with more teachers at the table had stronger cultures.
She talked about teachers’ misconception of school leaders as well as school leaders’ misconception of teachers. She called this “the empathy gap.”
Miriam points out that “if you don’t know the story, you’ll create one. And, it might be wrong.”
Miriam acknowledges that we often learn from the models we have around us, which is only a good thing when the model is effective. Otherwise it works against us.
Hear Miriam discuss why visibility is so critical for a school leader.
Miriam gave us some insights into how the book unfolds, including what she calls “macro” and “micro” aspects of school leadership.
She calls for more classroom visits. We couldn’t agree more.
Don’t miss what she says about “Wait Time 1” and “Wait Time 2” as both teaching and leadership strategies. We can’t disagree with talking less to learn more.
Miriam mentions Twitter as a place to go to find like-minded people and new ideas.
She identifies some well known and not so well known resources that are valuable for all educators. She points to Teachers Going Gradeless as a cool organization. She also calls out Edutopia and ASCD as well as Solution Tree as great resources.
Miriam uses the ten-minute reset each day to make sure that she does something that she loves. Tune into what she says about movement and breaks.
She talks about being a “dabbler” in a bunch of things, and she wants to learn how to write more nonfiction. And, we all agreed to learn how to be more funny.
Joe reflects on the need to get more people involved early in our process for any given initiative.
Don’t miss what she used to think about those who wanted to go into administration and how her perspective has changed.
