When the classroom feels like a battlefield, who's there to pull you through? In this illuminating conversation with Dr. Goodier, we dive deep into the concept of "educational trenches" – those challenging periods when educators question their professional path.
For instructional designers and those developing professional development, she provides actionable advice: know your audience, focus on outcomes, scaffold appropriately, and respect educators' time with blended learning approaches that include meaningful follow-up. Perhaps most importantly, she encourages all educators to periodically reassess their core motivation and be willing to explore new educational contexts when needed.
Whether you're currently in the trenches or supporting colleagues who are struggling, this episode offers both practical strategies and heartfelt encouragement. Subscribe now and join our community of education professionals committed to designing learning experiences with intention and care.
