63. Letting My Moral Compass Lead Me with Bronwyn Harcourt
Do you have a moral compass that guides you? Browyn Harcourt, the principal of Croydon Community School, believes it's important to be driven by your values. On this episode, we reflect on why doing what feels "right" can also feel hard but also why it's worth it. It can be isolating to follow your morals if you're the only one. But if no one steps up, who will? How long can we wait for someone else to take the first shot? Remember, you as one person, can make a difference. You are changing lives with each step forward. It doesn't mean you're changing everything on a macro-level, it means that the impact you do make is powerful and it tends to have a ripple effect. Liked this episode? Rate, review, and share!

60. Annihilate Inequities with Joyce Akridge
In Podcast Episode 60 of the Time for Teachership Podcast, I am talking with Joyce Akridge who has dedicated 44 years of her life to Indianapolis Public Schools. She has served in various positions from principal mentor to lead principal where she has demonstrated personal and professional excellence in leadership for the success of all students. She now runs her own coaching company with her daughter to help other school leaders achieve success in their own school districts. In this episode, Joyce discusses what's possible in her dreams for education while critiquing the current inequities that still need to be defeated. Students don't often expect their lives outside of academia to matter to school staff but what has made Joyce so loved by her student communities is her care for students in all of their potential whether that is social, emotional, etc. I think you're going to love this episode. It's really inspiring! I hope you find it helpful and remember to check out my blogpost at www.lindsaybethlyons.com/blog — which now features transcripts of each episode! Liked this episode?
