Teacher Tales #51 – Professional Learning, finding our strengths and team building: Michelle, professional learning provider, guide and wayfinder
In this episode, we have the great pleasure of meeting Michelle, a dear friend and teacher guide on the side for so many. Michelle shares her very interesting story of how she became a teacher and how she has been a wayfinder her entire life and career. She reminds us that our path in life is a winding one and that we are always finding our way on that path. There is no “one size fits all” professional learning that can happen in an hour or even a day. It is more a journey of small shifts in small ways that transform who we are and how we teach. Michelle also talks a great deal about the impact the Gallup Clifton Strengths Finder has had on how she sees what she and others can bring to the table as team. There is a difference between collaboration and collegiality. It all comes down to connection and community and finding your PFF. Michelle now shares her experiences and expertise through her consulting business by “empowering teachers, guiding leaders and transforming programs”…one small shift at a time!You can check out her wisdom and services and connect with Michelle here. She can help us all make those small shifts and get back on our true path of teaching.
