Leveraging the Power of Perspective

As kids, we all tried peeking through a keyhole, hoping to glimpse the world beyond the door. We could see a small part of it, but everything outside that narrow view remained a mystery. In education, we often take the same approach—viewing our students and colleagues through a limited perspective. But what if we opened the aperture and looked at things from a broader angle?

In this live episode of Change Starts Here: Research Conversations, Dr. Jennifer Chevalier, Director of Funding at FranklinCovey Education, and Kim Yaris, M.Ed., Content Creator and Researcher at FranklinCovey Education, help widen that keyhole. They offer strategies for shifting perspectives, addressing the challenges teachers face today, and exploring how these issues might be rooted in deferred pain. With the tools from this episode, you'll gain a "maximizing paradigm" to better understand your students and create a more positive environment at your school. Don't miss this insightful episode!
