Ep. 118: Closing the Divide — Building Bridges Between Admin and Staff
Description
Why does it sometimes feel like teachers and administrators are on opposite sides of the same mission? Why is there friction when we all want the same thing? To do what's best for kids - for people - and to do it well!
Because we're human. Because we're complicated.
In this episode, Brian and Kasey dig into the roots of that divide—the misunderstandings, pressures, and assumptions that quietly build walls between the front office and the classroom. Through honest conversation and personal stories, they explore what happens when both sides pause long enough to listen, assume good intent, and remember that everyone showed up for the same reason.
Because when teachers and administrators work together, schools don’t just function better—they feel better.
