Welcome back to another episode of Monday Matters! This week, Will and Jen are talking about another chapter from Will’s new book, Whose Permission Are You Waiting For? An Educator’s Guide to Doing What You Love. Throughout their conversation, Will and Jen discuss how important it is for school leaders to stay curious. One of the ways that leaders can accomplish this is through remembering why they love classrooms and schools. Doing so will keep the career journey fresh for school leaders and keep them from burning out. Another topic covered in this episode is complexity. Will shares a farming anecdote: “The more complexity that you create, the simpler farming will become for you, but it will never be easy.” He and Jen then reflect on ways that complexities have made sense over time throughout their individual leadership journeys. If you would like to learn more, listen in to the episode to hear the entire conversation.
