📢 Exciting new episode of An Imperfect Leader! 📢
I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Michelle Osterhoudt, Superintendent of Margaretville Central Schools, and it was an incredibly insightful conversation!
Here are some of the key themes:
- Rethinking Traditional Education 🏫: Michelle shared her personal experience with her daughter’s struggles in the traditional school system, which led her to advocate for diverse learning pathways.
- The Importance of Community and Connection 🤝: We discussed how crucial it is for schools to foster a sense of community and for educators to truly know their students.
- Being a Disruptor, Not Just an Ally 🗣️: Michelle emphasized the need for active disruption against hate speech and injustice, not just passive allyship.
- The Imperfect Leader’s Journey 🧭: Michelle’s vulnerability and honesty about her own mistakes highlighted the growth and learning that comes with leadership.
This episode is packed with wisdom for educators, leaders, and anyone passionate about creating a better future for our kids. Don’t miss it! 🎧
