    Great way to learn about other schools
    I am a teacher leader in my district and have found this podcast to be a way to break out of the “silo” and expand my thinking about education. Even with over 20 years as a teacher, this podcast has exposed me to new ideas and timely topics. Give it a try.

    Totally shifted my thinking!
    As an aspiring administrator, I'm learning to switch from my teacher mindset to that of a leader. This podcast helps me make the mental shift with an emphasis on mindfulness, compassion, creativity, and personal development. Thank you Daniel for your honest and grounded approach to leadership and for the powerful content you out out! A must listen for any leader, but also great for new leaders who want to get started with the right mindset.

    I love podcast like this one that allows me to reflect on my practices. I am always able to take something away that helps me improve.
  • Laurie Walton
    Fighting Isolation Indeed
    It can be difficult to find leaders to collaborate with when you live in a rural district driving to distinguish itself from those around it. Add to that being as the one elementary school in that district, it can be very lonely. Every morning of my first year, listening to this podcast, I have had a team. Sometimes I feel like I am drinking from a fire hydrant, others it is just one gem that makes my day smoother, and sometimes the episodes are written exactly for me! Thank you for fulfilling your mission! It is needed!
  • Fitsavvy
    Thorough, Inspirational, and Practical
    This podcast is such a high quality resource for school leaders. The structure is predictable yet enjoyable and practical. Danny’s enthusiasm and skill at guiding the interview is so high quality. Lastly, the resources provided are invaluable in the show notes. It is clear to me that each podcast has several hours of work put into it. One criticism I have of the show is the release dates. Some interviews appear to be 6-7 months after the actual session occurred. I sometimes hope Danny would provide more current interviews as they relate to education issues. One example I have: How do you lead a school as it feels the ripples of Parkland or other school shootings. That kind of interview would have been so beneficial in March 2018.

    I am a student who is taking classes in School Leadership and hearing various versions of how leaders cast their visions is so interesting, inspiring, and motivating!

    Education is life and Daniel Bauer helps you improve yours
    While others podcast to meet people or show themselves off, Daniel Bauer is clearly there to improve our educational system by improving us as educators. He chooses interviewees who make a difference (I'm honored that he chose me) to share their experiences for listeners to learn from. His passion shows through and he engages his guests to share theirs. The experience is fun and enlightening. It builds community. It helps students. He cares. If you care about education, I recommend listening, learning, and acting on Better Leaders Better Schools.
