Why do we forget about one of the most important parts of our job? Staff training doesn’t seem to be a high priority on a day to day basis but it’s actually what will give you the biggest bang for your buck when it comes to the overall success of your classroom. Getting your staff on the same page has a lasting impact on all areas of your room.

In this episode, let’s discuss why staff training is so important and how your personal hang ups often get in the way. Feeling uncomfortable or awkward about telling your staff what to do is not an excuse for avoiding staff training. Finding time for staff training is another big obstacle most teachers face. Learn how to work with your administrators to find time either within the school day or outside of the school day. Don’t be satisfied with an “okay” team, strive for having a great team every day.
