Listening to someone else while  they're  speaking is one of the most impactful things that we can do.  When a teacher takes a moment to listen to their student they  are letting that scholar know that he or she is  seen, heard, and valued.  When you take a moment to listen to your colleagues you are also strengthening a bond and creating a positive school climate. In this episode I talk about the power of listening, how we're not as good as we may think at this, and why it is essential that we become better listeners.
