Nov 29, 2021

Georgina is a visionary education leader, an inspiring writer, podcaster, and keynote speaker, and is keen to impact creative innovation across Europe, Middle East & Africa, where she has been fostering change in education for over a decade. She empowers learners, educators, and school leaders with the 21st century skills, creative strategies, tools, and the confidence they need to be successful members of a global community, to thrive in tomorrow's competitive job market. 

Key Takeaways:

• Create a staff Facebook page to help with onboarding new teachers
• Create staff Buddy systems
• Create a mentor system that that creates deeper relationships than the current required mentor system
• Support teachers from being overwhelmed by following the 3 steps of buddy system, resource bank, and human interaction
• Make sure you follow a tested and successful coaching framework whenever you are engaging and empowering teachers
• Educators want to make their leaders happy. They just need to know they're supported in return
• If teachers could do better they would. So it's up to the leaders to find out what's holding them back and take care of it
• Leaders need to provide space for educators to take risks and then accept them for where they are
• Stick to the appropriate pace that is acceptable by the community and the school when instituting change
• Give teachers agency when it comes to which digital tools they want to use to increase their students agency
• Huge paradigm shift about teachers being told to teach rather than facilitate.
