Episode 7: Trust with Craig Randall

As Michael Fullan writes, improving education means improving the quality of relationships inside schools. How can educators build relationships and establish partnerships based on trust and professional discernment?

This week's guest is Craig Randall, a principal, consultant, and author of Trust-Based Observations. In this episode, we talk about how school leaders can improve learning and teaching by building relationships with classroom teachers based on trust rather than evaluation. He speaks about the origins of his approach to learning observations and how guided reflective conversations enable school communities to engage in collaborative work. Over time, these conversations help to form professional partnerships focused on what we value most - the quality of student learning.
