How to Live Your Best Life as an Educator with Will Parker
Research shows that teachers and principals are leaving the profession of education at alarming rates. Some of the causes stem from the rising expectations and demands that educators find difficult to manage. Unfortunately, for many educators, taking care of others often means neglecting their own health and well-being. So, how can educators continue doing work they love while also making sure they are protecting themselves in the process?
In this episode, Tim Elmore and Andrew McPeak interview Will Parker as he shares about the habits, practices, and mindset necessary for growth as both an educator and a person. Will serves as Founder of Principal Matters LLC and Executive Director of Oklahoma’s Association of Secondary and Middle-Level Principals. He is also an author and speaker who uses his expertise in school leadership, culture and communication to equip education leaders with solutions and strategies for motivating students, inspiring teachers, and reaching communities.
