If We Are Positive and Ignore the Negative, Teaching and Learning Will Thrive, Right‪?‬ ASCD Learn Teach Lead Radio

    • Education

In this episode, we look at why ignoring what teachers are really thinking and feeling in the name of being unwaveringly “positive” can actually undermine school culture and create a toxic work environment. Listen in as we unpack why our collective efficacy requires school leaders to leave space for faculty to express negative feelings and talk about what’s not working in our schools.
