Should School Leaders Teach?

Are you struggling to decide whether school leaders should also spend time teaching? This episode is for you! I dive deep into the age-old argument of whether school leaders should step into the classroom.

I explore both sides of the argument, sharing reasons why leaders might benefit from teaching and equally compelling reasons why they might not. With anecdotes,insights, and a bit of advice advice, this episode is set to offer international school leaders a nuanced perspective on this controversial debate.
