MONDAY MATTERS with Jen Schwanke and Will Parker – Learning From Asparagus
from Principal Matters: The School Leader's Podcast with William D. Parker
This week on Monday Matters, Will Parker and Jen Schwanke reflect on a story that Jen recently shared in her newsletter. She shares the story of watching the asparagus her father planted to see if it would grow, only for it to grow when she wasn’t watching it. Will and Jen take some time to apply this story to schools and talk about how change and growth happen over time, even when we’re not watching. So often, school leaders will want to see change happen immediately, and will get frustrated when it doesn’t. In these moments, it is important to remember how change happens gradually, over time, even when we’re not looking for it. Don’t fixate on the immediate; focus on the long-term. Listen in to hear the full conversation! The post MONDAY MATTERS with Jen Schwanke and Will Parker – Learning From Asparagus appeared first on Principal Matters.
