“‘We're going to change everything.’ That's super stressful for a lot of people to hear in the education field. It's all about how to communicate and deliver work collaboratively together with those differences so that you are able to reach that purpose. I don't know any educator who's gone past the first year principal or teacher or assistant who's not there because their purpose is to help kids, but you have to understand their approaches to help. Bottom line, to educators, if your purpose is to help kids learn, I think the first thing they have to help is how they learn. They need to understand themselves and how they learn best. And by helping students learn how they learn and the joy of learning, then they become purposeful in their learning. And then the teacher feels I've accomplished a goal.”
