Navigating Pushback: Strategies for Educators

Welcome to On the Way to School, your six-minute daily boost for educators and administrators. I'm Christopher S. Dennis, and today, let's elevate our journey together.

It's Friday, and for many, it's the best day of the week! Join me in celebrating my 16th wedding anniversary with my wife, Shanet, and my daughter completing her nursing clinicals. It's a day of joy and milestones in my household.

Building on yesterday's topic of being mission-driven, today's episode dives into handling pushback against initiatives, especially in our current socio-political climate. I share three key strategies: expecting pushback, using common language, and being a consistent echo to ensure clarity and acceptance.

These insights aim to help you navigate resistance and foster a more collaborative environment in your educational journey. Have a wonderful day!
