#principalpln

The PrincipalPLN is a weekly podcast hosted by Theresa Stager, Jessica Johnson and Spike Cook. We are committed to creating podcasts that are informative, innovative and fun! The concept of the podcast was developed by Theresa Stager, who at the time, was a first-year principal seeking ways to learn from others. Theresa reached out to Jessica Johnson, and they invited Spike Cook to join. The crew began podcasting in September of 2013.  Each week we interview teachers, principals, superintendents, authors and presenters to learn  how to become more effective educators! We are dedicated to being the lead learners in all that we do.   Stay tuned for more details as we organize our schedule! Follow us on Twitter

Episode 76 - Principal Voice by Dr. Spike Cook, Jessica Johnson, Theresa Stager

PrincipalPLN is doing a "Voxer podcast" format we are trying out this weekend. I want to do a different one - one to help new administrators understand what the end of the year is like. I want them to know that we are ALL going through the same struggles. Every. single. one of us. We asked principals, teachers and other administrators to answer the following prompt: "This is what my last week has been like:" (If you're wondering how mine was, be sure to check my last post: http://bit.ly/206eYlj) Here are the results. Thank you to Brian Costello, Heather Leonard, Jessica Cabeen, Julie Vincentsen, Doug Timm, Michael Kelly and Brad Gustafson for their contributions.

Just like any educator at this time of the year, we've been too busy to get together at the same time to record a podcast, but we want you to know that we are still alive and surviving this hectic time of the year. So we're trying something new! We have been voxing to one another for a week and a half, Theresa worked some podcast magic and voila...we have a podcast for you!
