Manage episode 436678251 series 3590488
Welcome to On The Way To School, your six-minute daily boost for educators and administrators. I'm Christopher S. Dennis, and today, let's elevate our journey together.
In this midweek episode, we tackle the theme of perseverance in the face of fatigue and discouragement. Christopher shares a personal anecdote about an unexpected birthday celebration at the health office, reminding us of the small joys that can brighten our day.
We delve into the everyday experience of feeling discouraged when our efforts and ideas aren't immediately recognized or understood, especially as new school community members. Christopher offers insights into the administrator's perspective, highlighting the importance of timing and communication in implementing new initiatives.
Drawing inspiration from a Victor Hugo quote, we explore the concept of "an idea whose time has come" and the patience required to see our ideas come to fruition. The episode encourages educators to stay motivated, seek clarity when needed, and find comfort in growth and adaptation.
Join us as we reflect on these valuable lessons and continue to bring joy and innovation to our school campuses. And remember, sometimes a simple visit to a colleague's office can lead to unexpected delights—like a piece of cake!
