Episode description
"In a lot of ways, teachers are not given the respect as the professionals that they are. It sounds so simple. I'm finding myself focusing on teacher mental health as much as student mental health because I have to create the space where they [all] want to be here."
2023 New Memphis Educators of Excellence Kerrith Griffin, Executive Director of University Middle School, and Danny Song, Founder and Executive Director of Believe Memphis Academy, share how to lead with love, the importance of empathy in leadership, and the importance of shifting the narrative and knowing your value.
