Leading Yourself When the System Falls Short

In this episode:

We talk about what it means to be a self-led teacher and how being a self-led teacher can help shape your practice and improve student outcomes as an upper elementary literacy teacher. We also reveal our anchor text for quarter 1. 

We talk about:

1.Self-leadership what it is, why it’s necessary and how I am poised to support you on this journey. 


2. Why being research informed is a form of professional leverage that you need to have in your back pocket.
