About this listen
Lucy Hernandez was an unlikely person to offer advice to elementary school teachers—let alone the principal. To most of the staff, she was just the “assembly performer”—someone who sang, joked, and operated a puppet for the students. What could someone in that role possibly offer a burned-out fourth-grade teacher like Whittaker Lee or a rookie first-grade teacher like Maya Williams? Even Principal Gleason, as he prepared to introduce Lucy at the morning assembly, wasn’t sure she had what it took to engage his rowdy students.
What began as skepticism soon turned into something much bigger: a school-wide transformation. Lucy’s unique blend of energy, humor, and kindness wasn’t just entertaining—it was inspiring. As she began to mentor teachers, she sparked a shift in the climate of the entire school.
This heartwarming story is not only a testament to the power of one person’s impact but also packed with practical insights and tips for teachers looking to reignite their passion and reimagine their classrooms. No salacious scandals or fire-breathing dragons here—just an uplifting tale of one woman’s unexpected influence on a school and the teachers and students whose lives she touched.
