What makes students run to school? Knowing someone cares they exist

Colleagues,

In yesterday’s re-released episode on the Assistant Principal Podcast, Angela Maiers said this:

“We asked 500,000 thousand kids one question: what would make you run to school on your worst day? The results came back – they wanted to know someone was excited about their existence.”

Like I say often, people are the purpose.

Angela Maiers also shares her 2-5-2 formula, a simple technique for putting everything in the show into practice. It takes just minutes a day but creates a profound impact. It's about pausing, noticing, and letting people know their presence matters to you.

Who are you letting know they matter today?

I’m happy to acknowledge Kaleidoscope Adventures as a sponsor of yesterday’s episode of The Assistant Principal Podcast! I appreciate their support and encourage you to connect with them if you are thinking about planning a school trip!

Cheers!

Frederick
