Episode 132: 5 Strategies to Avoid Getting Sucked Into The "Tyranny of the Teacher Drama"
Has this ever happened to you?
- You are sitting at your desk and a teacher appears at your door.
- The teacher asks, “Do you have a minute?”
- The teacher is very upset and they start ranting about another teacher at your school and they proceed to tell you why they are so annoyed and frustrated.
- That teacher wants you to immediately be as upset as they are.
- That teacher wants you to stop what you are doing and deal with their problem. Like, right now.
If this has happened to you, you know what it feels like to be on the verge of getting sucked into the “Tyranny of Teacher Drama.”
Of course there are two parts to it. The first part is the “tyranny.” The teacher wants you to feel like this issue is urgent and it is more important than whatever you are currently doing. The second part is the “Teacher Drama”, which is the recurring emotional friction that occurs between faculty members and can negatively impact your culture in a significant way.
On today’s episode of The Private School Leader Podcast, we are going to learn 5 Strategies to Avoid The "Tyranny of the Teacher Drama."
I hope that you will listen to the podcast for your weekly dose of motivation, inspiration and PD. Thanks so much for listening and thanks for making a difference!
