Moving from 'We Can't' to 'How Can We?

from Unpacking the Backpack Hosted by Eric Sheninger

In this episode, we explore what it truly means to embrace discomfort, improve through authenticity, and model a growth mindset—especially when success is already in sight. You’ll hear the powerful story of Nicki Slaugh and the Quest Academy team, who, despite their high-performing PCBL practices, leaned into coaching to push even further. Together, they redefined what’s possible through targeted support, high-agency strategies, and a “How Can We?” mentality. We will unpack the leadership behaviors, teacher mindsets, and practical actions that help schools move beyond perceived limits. Whether you’re leading a classroom or a district, this conversation will challenge you to see growth not as an obligation—but as a calling.
