The Better Leaders Better Schools Podcast with Daniel Bauer Daniel Bauer

Everett Hendrixon, with Eco Supply LLC, has been in agriculture for 20+ years.  With an early career in law, and then business management, Everett believes he found what he wants to be when he grows up – someone who feeds people.  Whether that means giving fresh produce from his micro-farm or educating others on the benefits of growing real food, his mission is to connect as many as possible to their food source.
Show Highlights Connect your learning community to their food source for positive educational outcomes. The benefits of Flex Farm to get your students excited about authentic learning in the classroom.  Don’t be a “boiling frog” disconnected with the needs of students in both urban and rural areas. The limitations, pitfalls and generational disconnect in our current agriculture system. Get kids eating bags of lettuce to support connection to the community. Teach your brain emotional intelligence, raise self worth, build confidence and self esteem with these systems to “grow” in the classroom.  The need to pivot to help students find solutions to the fragility of our supply chain and climate change to minimize the carbon footprint.  Food can reframe the challenges you have in a way that makes solutions obvious.   
“You educate yourself by educating. You're feeding your mind and then you can feed others. You feed your body, you can feed others.”
-Everett Hendrixon

Madeleine Mortimore is the Global Education Innovation and Research Lead for Logitech, where she leads research on EdTech hardware. With years of experience as a classroom teacher, Madeleine has developed a curriculum for grades 4-12. Her research experience includes positions at the MIT Teaching and Learning Lab. Madeleine has a Master of Education from the Harvard University Graduate School of Education.
 
Show Highlights Setting clear values on how you function as an educational team  requires reorienting structure toward impact for students in the education space, not what's easiest. Incorporating voices from different angles of innovation drives meaningful change around a collective purpose to build community and support.  Logitech’s interactive tools to avoid complacency, increase student voice, and alleviate stress in the classroom. The need to pivot from unrealistic assumptions pertaining to classrooms is needed to find balance in discovering true knowledge and abilities within your learning community. Arm your staff with the right knowledge of what is truly a classroom.  You need this “North Star” to drive impact that takes many different routes.  Why is teaching infinitely harder than being a doctor?


“Sometimes it's hard to really stand your ground where maybe it's cheaper, maybe it's faster, or we need to hit a certain timeline.  I've learned my personal Northstar is just as important as having team values. I can stay really focused when there are those decisions to make, when the impact in the classroom is against the corporate need to be within a certain budget or timeline.”

Mark's passion is to release untapped leadership potential in people. So much leadership is wasted when the world defines leadership too narrowly. Mark's work helps people to better understand themselves and grow to be comfortable leading out of who they are. Mark has worked as a High School Teacher, Chairman of a youth charity and Youth Pastor and now runs a leadership consultancy called Leaderfull (leader-full.co.uk), focussing most of his time in schools and colleges. He lives in the UK with his wife and young family and loves to explore the great outdoors.
 
Show Highlights Avoid the leadership stereotype and invite more participants to the leadership table. What to do  when you hear someone say “I’m not a leader.” Stop wasting leadership potential and release untapped leadership with these tips. Development pathway that connects the students and the principal. The small things that make the most effective leaders. Discover the “leadership” in every member of your learning community. Take responsibility to lead out of your blindspots to be a much more authentic leader.  You don't have to lead from the front to be an effective


“Leadership is about influence, not about position. We can all have a positive influence on other people. Leadership is inherently relational.  I really define leadership as having a positive influence on other people through relationships.”
-Mark Herbert

Leading Equity In Your Schools 
Sheldon L. Eakins, Ph.D. is the Founder of the Leading Equity Center and host of the Leading Equity Podcast. He is also the author of Leading Equity: Becoming an Advocate for All Students. With over 11 years in education, he has served as a teacher, principal, and Director of Special Education. 
Dr. Eakins has a passion for helping educators accomplish equitable practices in their schools. He has earned a B.S. degree in Social Science Education, an M.S. degree in Educational Leadership, and a Ph.D. in K-12 Education. 
Show Highlights The downfall of having an equity checklist.  The book that takes you on a resourceful  journey for learning to make changes at your school and systems.  Finding your voice comes through understanding your identity in challenging situations. Avoid doing harm with strategies and approaches for having conversations that are difficult for you.  Practical, empathic, and very doable relationship building strategies and advice. Equity is not limited to just race. All schools have room for growth in understanding the reality and not the idea of equity.  Recognize the process, exclusions, and tradition necessary for generating buy-in from your staff. Embrace unique opposition to create authentic experiences for your stakeholders.

Title: Your Mess Your Message
Dr. Donna Marie Cozine helps overworked and exhausted Educational Leaders on the verge of burnout increase their work-life balance, so they can lead their organizations AND live the life they DESERVE! She is a leader, author, speaker, podcast host, and executive coach.
Dr Cozine has been featured in Authority Magazine, Principal Magazine, The Rochester Beacon, Medium, Connections with Evan Dawson, WHAM 13 Rochester NY, WXXI News Rochester, NY, and various national and international podcasts. 
 
 
Show Highlights “Your mess is the message” is a model on how to pivot to see obstacles as opportunities. Effectively leading with accessible boundaries to avoid being overwhelmed and burnt out. Free resources you need as a leader!!  Create a backwards map to support your top priorities with boundaries with “The Driver’s Method.” Don't go for the best solution, go for the next best solution. Go pass the knee jerk reaction of planning. Connect with those you serve to pull you through the hard times by overcoming this fear.  It’s not about ego but to extend yourself by asking these questions.  
“I'm really proud of what I've accomplished. I know that what I've accomplished will be there well beyond me and that's true leadership. Creating something that will be there after you've left.”
