Teacher Autonomy with Jason Bodnar Transformative Principal 060
from Transformative Principal Hosted by Jethro Jones
Jason is an assistant principal at a middle school who taught for 9 years as a science teacher at the high school level. After working with Assistant Superintendent on 1:1 initiative and creating his own classroom, he realized that he was able to see education in a different light, and chose to go into administration. Having a say in what is going on in your classroom can only lead to good things. How he gives teachers autonomy in what they are doing. Helping teaching find a way to try something new without fear of failure. No matter how old you are, there are people older and younger that are smarter than you. It’s not that you don’t like science, it is that the instruction you have had has not reached you. What makes people great is having a knack for giving students a strong voice. Differences between working with high school and middle school students and staff. If you’re trying new things and doing what’s best for students, you’re going to be successful.
