Educators, especially those in leadership roles, spend far too much time in isolation. An educator mastermind gives us a group of peers to help us problem-solve, set goals, and support each other in the incredibly challenging work we do. In this episode, I interview Daniel Bauer of the Better Leaders, Better Schools podcast about the educator masterminds he facilitates, and how you can start your own.

Get rid of a culture of judgment and move toward a culture of improvement. David Smith (Web site, Twitter) is the Leader Effectiveness Specialist for the Utah State Board of Education. He mentors and supports principals all over the state. 30 years in public schools. 10 as a teacher and 20 as a principal. ALPS, Principal in 3 different schools, Math Specialist for the state. Why he should have gotten a doctorate. Works with principals, superintendents, and HR directors in different district. Summative Evaluations Principals need to become coaches to teachers. If in a summative evaluation, a teacher is surprised, then the principal hasn’t done his job. Principals should not take the role of teacher coaches. Principal should be the lead learner or principal coach in the school. We get so caught up in administrivia and don’t focus on learning. A business manager vs. principal. Equitable division of leadership responsibilities. Ideal that the principal is the instructional leader.   Are you feeling like you are always behind at school? Do you feel like you need about 2 more hours each day to accomplish everything? Here’s how I help principals work manageable hours: Create your ideal week, so that you can leave work at work and enjoy your life!
