Title: Episode 68 - I Hope it Works

This episode of the Educators Among Us podcast celebrates and encourages educators who make a lasting difference in the lives of students.

Your host, Scott Barron, reflects on the importance of planning and taking action. You’ll enjoy a poignant story about his grandchildren on a recent beach vacation, including sandcastles and the need to solve a problem. As the analogy goes, the sand mixture has to be right. Sometimes it’s too wet. Sometimes it’s too dry. And yes, sometimes, you’ve got to “flip the bucket”.

Scott emphasizes the need for educators to be bold and courageous in trying new methods and embracing change, and also discusses the challenges of managing time and staying focused on priorities.

Ultimately, this episode encourages educators to make the most of every opportunity and develop habits and a mindset that enables growth and innovation for themselves, and those who seek to learn from them.
