Education is a business. Let’s stop pretending it isn’t.
“Education isn’t a business” is a thing people say when they’re upset about how the school systems are being run.
But education actually IS a business. Saying otherwise isn't going to change reality.
If you’re frustrated about how the school systems work, you can continue to wish this wasn’t the case…
Or you can accept how things actually are an+d learn what to do about it.
In this podcast episode, I share how that looks for school clinicians supporting language and cognition.
In the episode, I share:
Why people who have no classroom experience get hired into educational leadership positions.
Why good teachers or clinicians struggle when they get into school leadership, even if they were amazing at working with students.
The “business” skill you can learn that will boost generalization beyond your language therapy sessions
If you’re getting good results with students inside sessions but seeing little carryover, being good at “business” and leadership isn’t a “nice to have”. It’s a must have.
