I chat with Kassandra Ingalls who has taught as a kindergarten teacher for 3 years and is currently a K-2 team lead. She quickly pivoted into the position of a teacher leader within weeks and developed a system for a thriving team during the COVID-19 school closure.
In this episode, I talk about what a teacher leader is, its challenges, and its benefits. Not only do I talk about how to balance two roles at the same time but I also talk about some advice to aspiring teacher leaders.
