There's a new kind of teacher: Why everything you know about leadership just changed

The teacher you were trained to lead and the teacher standing in your building right now are not the same person, and nobody told you that. That's why in this episode, I'm  going to show you exactly who the New Teacher is, why the tactics that used to work have stopped working, and what it actually takes to reach a teacher who evaluates authority, interrogates truth, and is no longer defined by the profession the way teachers used to be. It's not you. It's not them. It's that the old playbooks no longer work. So you can stop blaming yourself, stop blaming your staff, and start building a school worth committing to #LikeABuilder.
