Education
This is the Classroom and Culture podcast from Epic Media Partners, where we go deep on all things...faith, culture, creativity, tech and innovation as they relate to education and learning! Today, with our host Monroe Jones, we’re picking up where we left off in part one of our discussion with Michael Zavada on best practices for creating and maintaining a mission-driven approach to preserving your classroom’s culture. In this episode, we want to take a deeper dive on the importance of culture in the classroom, and how it affects teachers, students, and mission overall. And specifically, we want to discuss what great teachers are looking for in their schools, and why some of our best leave when the culture declines. Some questions covered: 1. What are some general things that make for a great culture, and are we talking “classroom” culture? “School” culture? 2. When you go on school visits or accreditation visits, what are the signs that the culture there may be slipping? 3. What are some of the things teacher leaders are looking for in their school culture to ensure that they are fulfilled? In other words, how can we make sure we hold on to our rock star teachers— that they stick and stay? 4. What are some things school leaders can do now to ensure that the best and brightest stay engaged at the school? 5. What does the current economic situation tell us will be the future of teacher tenure and the ability to retain our best teachers? If you enjoy today’s episode, please pass the word.
