Hey teacher-friend, welcome back to the Sustainable Teacher, I’m so glad you decided to tune in today, and oh boy do I have an episode for you. In this episode I am introducing you to none other than my main-man and husband, Dr. Bill Rice.
I’m excited to bring him on the podcast not just because he’s my husband and I think he’s pretty cool, but also because he is an administrator. He is a high school principal at a school about 15 minutes down the road from us, and today he is offering a wonderful perspective - well, two perspectives actually - on what it is to be a sustainable teacher, and that is from a principal’s role and the role of a teacher’s spouse.
My goal in interviewing Bill is not so that we can say, “see, this is what you should be doing” to either our principals or our spouses, but so that teachers can see that your sustainability is what’s most important, next to being effective with kids, and that the classroom atmosphere and overarching learning experience you build for your students is more important than any one, overly amazing lesson that you feel you have to create every day of the week.
This is an incredibly important message especially now, during the back to school season which we’re in at the time this episode will air, and I hope the message resonates with you more than any amount of stress you’re feeling.
Without further ado, let’s bring Bill on.
