The Innovator's Mindset - Season 1 - Episode 17 B - A Convo With Christina Podraza

If you're a teacher with ideas and you are looking to connect with your principal about getting them in motion, this is the episode for you.  Back in February of 2019, I posed a question on Twitter that got a lot of attention. It sparked an ongoing conversation with on of the administrators initially tagged in that Tweet. that conversation has brought us to this episode of Dear Teacher, Don't Give Up!  In this episode, I talk with Dr. Christina Podraza, Principal of Jefferson Elementary. The conversation is wide-ranging about how teachers and principals can better relate with one another. In the end, teachers, we can walk away with some actionable tips:  Engage with your principal on a personal level, assuming he or she is open to the idea of building any kind of relationship. Announce that you are trying something new, and invite your principal to give you feedback. Teachers, HAVE A PLAN. The faculty meeting is not a public forum, or brainstorming session, where you get to volley half-baked ideas for change. Show your principal that you are connecting with their priorities BEFORE offering your suggestions for improvement. REMEMBER, it’s not a once-in-a-life-time sales pitch; it’s a process.  If you would like to connect with Christina further, you can find her the following ways:  Website:  christinapodraza.com Email: Contact form at her website Twitter: @christinapod Instagram: @jeffersond205 (The account of Christina's school)  As for me, the host of the show, if you are currently working in education and have EVER thought about leaving, or right now, you’re a classroom teacher looking for the nearest exit, I want to hear your story. Please, contact me  Email: makethemmasterit@gmail.com Twitter: @MakeThemMastrIt Voxer: Makethemmaster (Find me, title the chat w/ what you want to discuss, &amp; talk!)
