37. Creating Change Through Feedback and Risk-Taking (Dave Schmittou)

<p>On this episode, I am honored to host the legendary Dave Schmittou. Dave is the Director of Leadership &amp; Development for the Teach Better Team. He’s the author of several education-based books, one of which we discuss in his interview. He is a former elementary school principal, former middle school principal, assistant principal, coach, and teacher. I brought Dave on the show because of his powerful message surrounding feedback, how we can get outside of the cookie-cutter method of providing it, and how to truly use it to change schools. Dave also has a massive focus on empowering educators to take risks, and he talks about practices leaders can utilize to build a positive culture around risk-taking. But most of all, I brought Dave on because he is so brutally honest and vulnerable. He doesn’t hide his flaws, and he uses them in such a reflective manner that is such a great example for all educators to emulate.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;.&nbsp;</p> <p>. <strong>Please Rate, Review, and Subscribe to The Ed Essentials Podcast!&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>.&nbsp;</p> <p>Connect with us:&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://schmittou.net/">Dave Schmittou</a> | <a href="https://schmittou.net/order-books-by-dave/">Dave's Books</a>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://linktr.ee/edessentials">Ed Essentials</a></p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/edessentials/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/edessentials/support</a>
