Chinuch Today Podcast

2.14 Micro Episode - This Principal’s Principles

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Micro Episodes provide your host an opportunity to share short personal chinuch insights.
Much of my approach to chinuch can be summarized in three simple steps:
 
Children are good and want to do good.
If they are not doing good there is a reason.
The job of the adults in the child’s life is to identify and address that reason.
 
Join me as I explain this approach and how it guides my work.
