Chip Jones: Bringing Community Together During Adversity - The #InnovatorsMindset Podcast S4 EP27

George Couros begins this episode with Chip Joes with a reflection on a parent phone call he had when he was an administrator. Couros shares that advice given to him from his front office secretary. Making a commitment to ensuring that parents know how appreciated their child is and how we have all made mistakes helped make a potentially difficult phone call much smoother! George Couros and Chip Jones talk about these connections with parents and how important it is to demonstrate how much we care for the children in our schools. Jones makes a ton of powerful points and shares impressive strategies for making community connections. Quotes: “People saw the school as a community resource…we help kids get an understanding of what they want to do when they leave here.” - Chip Jones Links: Chip Jones LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/chip-jones-ed-d-823a851a/ __________________________________________ Please share your thoughts with us on Twitter or Instagram at #InnovatorsMindset.
