Take the Angle: How Educators Should Chase Problems, Not Trail Them

from On The Way To School Hosted by Christopher S. Dennis

Dr. Chris Dennis discusses how educators can solve problems more effectively by using strategic "angles of pursuit" instead of trailing issues reactively. Through analogies with an off-leash dog, a sheepdog, and football pursuit drills, he shows how a coordinated, proactive team approach funnels problems into solvable paths. The episode urges leaders to position themselves over the top, take wider angles, move quickly, and converge together to stop problems from escalating.
