Episode description

In this 216th episode of The Wired Educator Podcast, I talk about the four relationships that we must strengthen in education. 

I love the magic of a new year and any chance to start fresh. I journal. I make resolutions. I set goals. 

Helping students, teachers and educational leaders become their best is my passion and mission in life. I love it.

I see educators working hard to build strong connections with students not only because it is the right thing to do and fun, but because it really makes a difference in the life of that student, in that classroom and in that teacher. Building good relationships, however, is just the start! There are other relationships that are important to nature and that is what this episode is about. 

Building relationships with others isn't easy, but it makes all the difference. It improves our work environment, our day, and our lives. It can even change how we are when we get home! We can't wait for others to start this important work. We must start it and model it. 

I had to get a little courageous in this episode. This is not an interview. This is me opening up and sharing what I believe we all need to do. It's not easy nor comfortable but it will make a lasting difference in everyone.

I hope you enjoy this podcast as I reach out and share from my heart at what I hope we all can find the strength to put into action.

Please send me your thoughts on this episode.
