Becoming A Principal - A Convo with Dr. Marcus Belin - The #InnovatorsMindset #Podcast S3 EP9

Dr. Marcus Belin and George Couros share their thoughts on the response to administrators that says “that is why you make the big bucks.” Dr. Belin and Couros reflect on how administrators hear that comment and it often comes off as an excuse to treat them poorly. Couros reminds us that “it is not about top down, bottom up, it is about all hands on deck.” In the intro of this episode, Couros shares some reflections about his time as an administrator and how connecting with kids would remind him why he did what he did. Dr. Belin reflects on the struggles many administrators have and shares some powerful stories about the role he has as a principal in a school of nearly 3,000 students. No matter our role, we are all doing what is best for kids.
