Brian Martin is the host of the Teaching Champions Podcast, but much more than that. He is a Teacher/Student, Speaker/Listener, and Failer/Achiever. Brian’s continuous positive messaging about mindset, learning, gratitude, and how to improve education through twitter is truly inspiring. Brain is consistently lifting educators up. Personally, I found him through that very platform and after reading through his feed knew he would have a ton to offer the listeners of this podcast. Key Takeaways: We need to make a point of both observing and absorbing the good in life. Clear messaging and explicit modeling of expectations is how you create a positive atmosphere and culture. Make recognizing gratitude a daily practice. If you're not making mistakes you're not trying. We need to create an environment where risk taking is supported and encouraged. It's critical that administrators are more consistently in the classroom to support teachers. Stay in Touch: Twitter: @bmartinreal Teaching Champions Podcast
