Sometimes we hold on to traditions in schools and in classrooms that don’t drive learning, culture, or experiences. Sometimes the traditions are exactly what is driving those critical pieces. In this week’s episode, we chat with Kelly Rodriguez about how to know when you need to overcome or change traditions and when you need to lean into the things that are working. Hint: ask your students!

Kelly also stopped by to chat about teaching as a 2nd career, the various meanings of a “safe school”, creating staff ownership in new programs, and we game plan your next student-staff softball game!
