S2:E20 - Messaging and Modeling

Brian Martin is the host of the Teaching Champions Podcast, but much more than that. He is a Teacher/Student, Speaker/Listener, and Failer/Achiever. Brian’s continuous positive messaging about mindset, learning, gratitude, and how to improve education through twitter is truly inspiring. Brain is consistently lifting educators up. Personally, I found him through that very platform and after reading through his feed knew he would have a ton to offer the listeners of this podcast.

Key Takeaways:

• We need to make a point of both observing and absorbing the good in life.
• Clear messaging and explicit modeling of expectations is how you create a positive atmosphere and culture.
• Make recognizing gratitude a daily practice.
• If you're not making mistakes you're not trying.
• We need to create an environment where risk taking is supported and encouraged.
• It's critical that administrators are more consistently in the classroom to support teachers.
