Why Little Moments Make a Big Difference in Education
Manage episode 502327963 series 3564265
This week, we close our series celebrating the release of Quint Studer and Dr. Janet Pilcher's book, The Extraordinary Gift: Our Teachers. In this moving episode, Dr. Pilcher shares two more powerful stories about the educators who shape our lives.
First, hear from Dr. Pat Greco as she recalls how the simple moments of connection from caring educators helped her find belonging during a childhood of frequent moves. Then, a story from chapter 3 of the book, as Dr. Charlotte Boling shares her personal experience with a fifth-grade teacher who went above and beyond to meet both her academic and emotional needs after a family tragedy.
This episode addresses questions such as:
- Why are a teacher's "little moments" often the ones that leave the most lasting impression?
- How can educators create a sense of security and belonging for students during times of change?
