“Not a podcast fan (I say that for anyone who is hesitant to start this podcast), but I LOVE this one! CharacterStrong takes away EVERY excuse. Each podcast is quick (10-15 min) & offers only the background info you need to know AND gives you 1-2 insanely practical ideas you could implement same day. They not only address student needs, but make sure to take care of teachers/staff/admin as well. And while they strive to make everything as easy as possible, they don’t pretend like our world is a “one-simple-skill-fix;” they respect our hard work. I always feel hopeful and empowered when I’m done listening.
Side note: while I use CharacterStrong with my Leadership kids, I only started listening to the podcast this summer (2020). It’s fascinating to start with their first and work your way to the newest episodes. They were addressing ALLLLL the things everyone is suddenly scrambling to fix from the very start. Every time someone says, “our world is changing so fast we need to prepare kids for the unexpected” it makes me laugh and think, “oh if we only knew how true those words were ...” 😂😂😂”
