Steve Barkley Ponders Out Loud
Education
Problem saturated conversations can lead to a limited focus on any solution, a negative impact on morale, as well as a decrease in collaboration and teamwork. Lana Cecil, a coach of instructional coaches and teachers, shares her "Positober" strategy: a plan to address a common dip that occurs for many educators sometimes called the October dip. Some describe it as a long stretch while you’re really tired. Others describe it as hitting the wall, barely making it through the week, with endless weeks of the school year ahead of you. How can coaches and leaders respond to problem saturated conversations?
