The Only P.H.D. You Need!

Deep Roots =＞ Flowers + Fruit

In this episode, we explore the power of a purpose-driven mindset in teaching and its deep connection to the service-oriented nature of our profession.

I share my personal journey from pursuing a master's degree in chemistry to embracing the art and practice of education, reflecting on why academic qualifications don’t always equate to effective teaching. And, I introduce a new kind of PhD for teachers to consider growing into, one rooted in Purpose, Heart, and Determination—the foundations for cultivating trust, relationships, and meaningful academic growth in our students.

Get ready to reflect on what drives us as educators and how we can grow stronger in service, students, and science. Let’s plant the seeds of growth and harvest the fruits of lasting learning together!
