In this episode, I chat with my longtime friend and colleague, Pam. As teachers, we establish and develop deep connections and friendships with colleagues that last a lifetime. We learn from each other; we support each other; we share experiences and emotions; we cheer each other on; we lift each other up when we are down; we are there for one another…always! In this chat between friends, Pam and I take a trip down memory lane through her many, varied and rich experiences as a teacher, mentor, colleague, collaborator and friend. She shares with us how all these experiences have taught her lessons and given her insights, perspective and skills for adaptability, collegiality and better communication with others. Pam explains how all her experiences have helped her to engage effectively in both systems-focused and people-focused leadership. Listen and find out what her teachers tell her they need most right now. Our conversation is filled with words that begin with the letter “C” that are basic critical components needed in the “average” classroom. Listen, take notes and soak in all the connections between these two friends, colleagues and lifelong learners!
