“Hiring for Heart” with Savannah Steger

Send us Fan MailSavannah Steger, an educator in South Carolina, initially tried to ignore the childhood feeling that she would work in education — even going as far as starting college as a broadcast journalism major before pursuing what she termed her "calling." Now, Savannah has been an elementary school principal for 5 years. Before that, she was an assistant principal and a teacher. Having worked at various levels of elementary education has helped her develop perspective, but one thing hasn’t changed: the “why” at the heart of her career, which is helping children learn, grow, and succeed.  In this episode, Savannah shares stories from her career journey, emphasizing the importance of building relationships with students and staff, the challenges faced along the way, and the rewarding moments that make it all worthwhile. Get your FREE Workbook ➡️ The K-12 Teacher's Workbook for a Mid-Year ResetThis free resource for teachers is a practical way to set (and achieve) your professional goals this year.
