Episode Notes

The Jordan School District’s Teaching & Learning department is proud to produce the Jordan Journey podcast. The Jordan Journey is a monthly education podcast featuring teacher stories from across the Jordan School District in Utah. 

Over of the course of this episode, we discuss some of the following questions:

• How can a coach use curiosity to create "trust-building" communication between the teachers they work with?
• In a busy day full of emails, announcements, and meetings, how can coaches and teachers filter through the noise to ensure key messages actually land?
• How does consistent, transparent communication help unify teams or PLC groups around shared goals?
