Flexibility means everything in education today. Dr. Karen Ingram, national education consultant for Istation, and Dr. Claudia Castillas, a bilingual virtual product development coach at Istation, joined host Hilary Kennedy to dive into the ways administrators and personnel can remain flexible and support teachers in this era of education.
One way administrators can support teachers is through active listening, which places value on teachers’ work efforts.
Dr. Casillas said, “Without the relationship, without a meaningful connection, you’re not able to have that space to be able to go deep, to be able to be truly authentic, truly genuine.”
Teachers also say that they need more intensive data monitoring time so they can identify which students need support to fill learning gaps resulting from instruction deficits. Administrators must be creative in providing time for this.
The podcast explores several ways to motivate and engage the educators at your schools and discusses how Istation can make planning time more efficient by providing detailed reports on student performance and growth trajectories.
