Description

In this episode, Simon Breakspear unpacks the sunk cost fallacy - a powerful cognitive bias that keeps educators clinging to ineffective programs simply because they've already invested time, money, or energy. This hidden trap can block the strategic pruning needed for real progress. Learn how to spot it, talk about it, and move on - so you can redirect resources toward what will truly make a difference.
