 The age-old debate just pulled up a chair—at The Childcare Director’s Chair. In this thought-provoking episode, we're digging into what really makes someone a great educator: that framed degree on the wall or the grit, passion, and instincts honed in the classroom trenches. Are we unintentionally gatekeeping leadership opportunities from rockstar teachers who don’t check the "formal education" box? Or are credentials still the best path to high standards?

Get ready to unpack the pros, the cons, and the complexities of growing leaders from within—because who gets a seat at the leadership table matters.
🔥 Tune in and challenge your own biases.
