Cultivating and Accessing the Talent of Those We Serve - Pillar 3 from #WhatMakesAGreatPrincipal

We often talk about "risk taking" in education, but what does it mean? In this episode, George will try to remove the "fear" out of taking risks and shift the thinking on how we look at taking risks as an opportunity to move to something better than what we have.  There is also a reminder that there are risks associated with the things we "don't" do.

George Couros's Album

The Innovator's Mindset - Season 1 - Episode 1 - How do you see risk taking?

In this episode, George Couros will discuss the hardest keynote he has ever had to do and what he did in that moment.

There will always be issues and things that will be tough to overcome. Sometimes, it is out of our hands, and SOMETIMES, it can be directly related to what we do.  In this episode, George Couros will share how he recalibrated his thinking and how it started opening doors for him and how we have to take ownership of our pathway because ultimately, we are the ones steering the direction.

The Innovator's Mindset -  Season 1 - Episode 6 - You Are Always the Solution

In September of 2018, I wrote the post "10 Core Values for Education" based on the "Core Values" of the online shoe company, Zappos.  

In this podcast, George Couros will share something he did that was more focused on following the rules rather than doing what was right for my students, and how creating and discussing our "core values" as a school or district can put us in the position to do what is right by the standards of our "policies," but more importantly, what is right by the students and staff we serve. 

I would love to hear your thoughts so please share with me to Instagram or Twitter at @gcouros or to the #InnovatorsMindset podcast.

The Innovator's Mindset - Season 1 - Episode 13 - 10 Core Values for Education

As a parent, I think a lot about what I hope for my own kids in their school experience, and I wish this for not only other students but staff as well.  What are some of the things that parents need to know for their kids? What are some of the hopes we have for our own children?  What does school look like in any setting? 

George Couros shares these thoughts in this podcast.  In the comments below, what are some of your hopes for kids and school?

10 Tips for New Teachers - The #InnovatorsMindset Podcast, Season 1, Episode 28

While this episode of The Innovator's Mindset Podcast opens with a fun debate about the etiquette of wearing pants vs wearing shorts, Dean Shareski and George Couros dig into deeper and more meaningful topics within education - like how to find joy in education in any learning environment. Dean's Twitter bio is a fitting description of this episode: "Working daily to reduce my ignorance. Concurrently trying to identify and linger in delight." 
In this episode, you will learn more about how Dean is creating hope and joy for all learners and how he answers George's question about how we can help people feel valued. Dean also shares a strategy that he uses to better understand how educators feel validated.
