304. Building Resilience in Education: Featuring Alison Smith

Aspire to Lead, Alison Smith, The Thrive Designer, Joshua Stamper

In this thought-provoking episode, Alison Smith discusses the pressing challenges facing both educators and educational leaders, including burnout, compassion fatigue, emotional dissonance, and a lowered sense of mattering. Alison delves into how cultivating resilience can not only help individuals overcome these challenges but also build collective efficacy, which in turn positively impacts student success.

We also explore how educational leaders can actively support and foster resilience within their teams, ensuring long-term well-being and productivity. Alison introduces the THRIVE Design Principles, a framework that can help schools and educators create environments that encourage growth, support, and resilience.
