    So you want to be a school leader?

    So you want to be a school leader?

    In episode 156 of the Leader of Learning Podcast, I discuss when someone will know when the time is right for them to look to advance to the next level in their career. For educators, that may mean becoming a school leader. I ask the question “Should you take the next step in your career?” There are three (and maybe more) reasons why you should. First, you are unhappy or unfulfilled in your role. Next, you feel like you are ready to make a bigger impact in your organization or your field. Finally, you want to make more money or want to live a better lifestyle.

Leading and Learning

Dr. Kreiness has such a clear and relaxed presence in this podcast. His guests always push my thinking. Dan seems to always ask just the right question at the right time to drive awesome conversations that make an impact on today’s educators!

EdTechEducator ,

It’s okay

Lot’s of self promotion and long cumbersome conversation. Episodes could definitely be condensed for more clarity. Topics are of interest and include a wide variety.

NPS Redhead ,

Worth your time as an educator

I am a teacher & my time is precious. I made a personal commitment to my own self care this year (2021- and on) as the toll of teaching this year has been significant. This podcast is worth a listen. Dan Kreiness is a coach in our district and was my instructional coach for a year. He helped me through a very tough year so I am personally grateful for his time & encouragement.
