THE EMPOWERED PRINCIPAL
This week, I have two very special guests to kick off the month of May, Christy Lamb and Karen Hile! I’ve been following both of these ladies for a while now, and when I saw that they were starting a podcast, I knew I had to get them on my show to speak to all of you.
Karen and Christy are both elementary principals and the brains behind The Modern Principal, founded with the mission to help fellow leaders with the real problems they face in their schools today and to redefine the role of school leadership in our nation’s schools.
Tune in this week as I interview the amazing Karen Hile and Christy Lamb on why they started The Modern Principal and the work they do with school leaders. They’re sharing the issues facing our schools, sharing how they make decisions every day that are aligned with their identities as leaders, and discussing their dynamics with their staff and what they’ve found useful in that area.
BUZZING WITH MS. B PODCAST
Every school year has challenges, but the last two years have had more than most.
​
Schools have faced many changes in a short amount of time.
I’m joined on the podcast by Christy Lamb and Karen Hile of The Modern Principal. We discuss ways instructional coaches can support schools as they navigate change.
​
They tell us about the challenges they face as administrators and why change is difficult to implement on campuses. We talk about honest communication and how coaches can be a bridge between teachers and administrators.
​
These principals share their strategies for supporting teachers who are struggling with change. They offer advice for implementing long-lasting changes and why you should avoid the trap of toxic positivity.
Tune in to hear why instructional coaches must know their role and advocate to stay in that role. This episode has plenty of tips to help you coach your teachers during changing times.
