The idea that prestige is what people want most from a job is outdated. The priority has become what they need, which is a positive work culture where they feel seen, appreciated, and trusted. How do we become the kind of educator that can foster this kind of authenticity? Targeting specific skills that foster connection. Creating trust by modeling how to be a genuine team player. Understanding what matters most to our students and colleagues. The result? We expect innovative ideas and top performance to be at an all-time high as our people thrive in a workplace where they know they belong.
