They discuss Dr. Reusche's journey from classroom teacher to superintendent, the importance of building relationships in education, and how her upbringing influenced her leadership style. The conversation also delves into the role of generosity in leadership, particularly during challenging times like the COVID-19 pandemic, and the significance of mentorship and encouragement in professional growth.

She shares personal anecdotes about her grandchildren, her views on living a good life, and the legacy she hopes to leave behind.

Sometimes we happen to read articles and blog posts that ring true to us. Occasionally, we may even think, “Hey, this author could be talking about me and my experiences!” Well, guess what? I had this sensation when reading an article in TIEonline entitled “My Identity as an International Educator.” The article really nailed the character strengths, dispositions, and experiences of individuals who “go global” to teach. I shared the article with Audrey and said, “Let's get the author, Sandy Sheppard, on the podcast” to help our listeners further build their understanding of what it means to be an international educator. Fortunately, Sandy said yes to our request for an interview.There were many takeaways from our interview with Sandy. One that may not become apparent to many of us until we have been “away from home” for a while is the extent to which international educators are “different.” We discussed these differences and how they impacted Sandy when she repatriated to New Zealand and attempted to resume her teaching career “back home.” If you have tried something similar, you may be able to connect with how she felt about what ensued.Sandy is an international educator who was born and raised in New Zealand. Sandy embarked on her international career three decades ago in Jakarta, Indonesia. Presently, she serves as an Elementary Principal in the vibrant city of Yangon, Myanmar. Sandy has raised two children internationally and advocates for the profound impact of high-quality international education in shaping future global citizens poised to enact positive change in the world. Our guiding question was, “What does it mean to be an international educator?”.Sandy touched on many themes that we know our veteran international educator listeners will be able to connect with!This episode was recorded on October 3, 2023.Contact Information: LinkedIn | Instagram: Sandy Lee SheppardResources Mentioned in the Episode: My Identity as an International Educator article in TIEonline. Categories: School Life | TransitionsRemember to access our Educators Going Global website for more information or to subscribe to our newsletter!Email us with comments or suggestions at educatorsgoingglobal@gmail.com Follow us on Facebook, Instagram or YouTube.Music: YouTube.

Austin's summation of what we (think) we know about what really caused the recent trouble at Stevens Creek Elementary that led to the removal of their beloved Principal, and the "retirement" of an also beloved secretary and bookkeeper. We remind BOE leadership that such speculation and theoretical explanations are needed because of their indefensible, illogical, and ridiculously timid SILENCE concerning this event!
