Are you tired of “putting out fires” all day…or just plain tired? In an educational landscape filled with increasingly complex challenges, we often find ourselves searching for the key to student success, while forgetting that we, ourselves, ARE the key!  Our mindsets and beliefs drive our words and actions, which in turn drive student outcomes. In this session, we will look at some foundational mindset shifts that will profoundly impact how we teach and interact with our students. The win-win? Educators who feel more empowered, and students who are getting more of their needs met!
