Bradley Lands; Knowledge-Able & the Self-Publishing Journey - The #InnovatorsMindset #Podcast S4 EP5

George Couros begins this episode with a reflection on who we surround ourselves with in schools. When the administration looks to hire, one consideration should be how the gifts of prospective employees have talents, abilities, and interests that differ from the existing team. Beyond hiring for a variety of strengths and talents, Dr. Kimberly Miles talks about how she is also involved in learning while putting the people she serves in positions where they can lead. Dr. Kimberly Miles, who is passionate about early literacy and has been a teacher, reading coach, instructional coach, summer school facilitator, and administrator, joins this episode of The Innovator’s Mindset Podcast with George Couros. Miles reminds us that when we build a team that has a variety of gifts, that is when we find the greatest return on investment in the people we serve. 


Quotes:

"We have to not just do what we have always done, but do what our kids need...and that takes learning on our part." - Dr. Kimberly Miles


"My role as a principal is to silence as much noise as I can to allow (teachers) to focus on what is happening in their classroom." - Dr. Kimberly Miles

Dr. Kimberly Miles: The Importance of Shared Leadership in Schools - The #InnovatorsMindset S4 EP 9

George Couros begins this episode of The Innovator’s Mindset Podcast with a reflection on his eating habits. Couros shares that he has been able to find healthy foods that he enjoys. This connects to the conversation that Couros has with Jared Scherz where the two talk about how ignoring a problem rarely leads to a solution. There are times when we are so normalized to being exhausted that when we finally do find things that bring us energy, we start to realize the changes that we need to make for ourselves and those we serve. Be sure to share a strategy that you use to create space where you come to work energized - share this in the comments below! 



Quotes:

"How do we as an organization create greater health for their individual benefit? One of the ways we do that is through their mindset." - Jared Scherz

Chip Jones: Bringing Community Together During Adversity - The #InnovatorsMindset Podcast S4 EP27

“We shouldn’t do stuff we have done in the past just because we did it in the past; nor should we do new stuff just because it is new. We should focus on what works well with our students.” - George Couros 



Jenn Hencken joins this episode of The Innovator’s Mindset Podcast and shares some amazing information and ideas about how to harness artificial intelligence while harnessing the learning around it. Hencken shares the idea of return on investment and how that is connected to the deep learning this is being done in our schools. If you are curious about strategies for using AI in the classroom, wondering about technology in education, especially the primary grades, or just want to hear an energetic edupodcast, be sure to check out this episode! 



Quotes:

“We shouldn’t do stuff we have done in the past just because we did it in the past; nor should we do new stuff just because it is new. We should focus on what works well with our students.” - George Couros 



“I am very open with the fact that I do not know everything…I am building that level of trust because I am willing to admit that I do not know.” - Jenn Hencken 



“Use AI as a research superpower. Use it in a positive way, not an ‘I gotcha way.’ If it is introduced in small pieces in all the classes, low-stakes activities…it will get you using it in a way that is good.” - Jenn Hencken

3 Questions on Educators that Inspire with Keith Fickel - The #InnovatorsMindset #Podcast

In the final episode of the #InnovatorsMindset #Podcast for Season 4, George shares a lesson that he learned from his daughter Kallea. 

When things annoy us, we have to ask, will this even matter 5 minutes now? Even a week from now? Often the answer is no, but we tend to hold onto it way longer than we need.

Understanding what matters (and what doesn't) now helps us in the future.

A short podcast with a strategy that helped me and I hope helps you!

Have a great end of your 2023 and I wish you a wonderful 2024!
