"Balance, Purpose and Self-Care" with Annick Rauch - The #InnovatorsMindset Podcast, S2, Ep5

George Couros and Annick Rauch have known each other for years! Annick recently wrote a blog post about the struggles that teachers are facing and she reflects on the long-term impact that our current situation will have on educators. Both laugh as they look back at each other’s blog posts and reflect on their ideas from then and consider how their ideas have grown. George even reads a piece of Annick’s first blog post aloud and finds one particular piece very funny! After the two have some great laughs, Annick shares how she is being innovative within her new-found constraints. Listen to the end to hear Annick talk about three pieces of advice and hear George’s commentary on each piece. This energetic podcast episode gives some great tips for blogging and being innovative in education.
