The Unleash Learning Podcast

Episode #5 is here 👉🏾 How to Take on New Information with Ease. If you’re leading learning across your school, network, or state, you know the challenge: new information comes at you fast, and in the era of overwhelm, it can feel impossible for staff to take it in. With constant change and already-full mental loads, professional learning risks becoming just another stress point. That’s why this episode of our 5-part podcast series on Leadership in the Era of Overwhelm is essential. Here’s what we’ll share in this episode: How a school can take on new information with confidence and ease. How to run professional learning that supports rather than overwhelms. The two kinds of data every leader needs to know about – and the one that helps without adding to the overwhelm. If you’d like your school, network, or state to confidently adapt and apply strategies, initiatives, and frameworks — without the overwhelm — this episode is for you.
