About this listen
Today’s guest is Dr. Ashley Potvin, a research associate at the Renée Crown Wellness Institute whose new book, “Creating Compassionate Change in School Communities: Leading Together to Address Everyday Suffering in Schools” comes out later this month. The book focuses on helping teachers cultivate compassion and reduce suffering in their schools — a topic we can agree is important.
Before earning her PhD in Curriculum & Instruction from CU Boulder, had several jobs in education, including teaching social studies at middle and high school, and working as teacher coach. We talk about her journey towards becoming a researcher and the longterm impacts of teaching relationships. We discuss how to create compassion in schools, and the kinds of compassion you might’ve forgotten about, like self-compassion.
