Description
Ready to boost staff morale and classroom culture without adding another initiative to your plate? Looking for a mindset shift that reduces burnout and strengthens student engagement? Educators are culture carriers, and the energy you bring each day shapes how students and colleagues show up, respond, and persist. Positive school climate and emotional intelligence practices are linked to stronger relationships, better behavior, and improved learning outcomes. In this course, Spencer Palmer brings The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon to life with clear, actionable strategies that help educators take ownership of their attitude, build contagious positive energy, address negativity with clarity, and create a shared vision that pulls classrooms and teams forward, supported by a virtual workbook and take-home actions you can apply immediately.
