We Were Trained to Be Silent | Why Educators Stay Quiet Even When It Hurts

In this episode, I’m calling it what it is: we were trained to be silent, long before we stepped into classrooms or leadership roles. This isn’t just a school-based problem. It’s baked into our educator prep programs, university courses, and early career coaching. From the very beginning, we were taught to “keep our heads down,” “stay off the radar,” and “do what we’re told”, even if it hurts kids, disrespects context, or goes against everything we know to be right. Whether you’re a teacher, AP, principal, or district leader, this episode is for you. 🔊 We can’t keep letting cookie-cutter PD, one-size-fits-all mandates, and top-down directives silence our professional wisdom. We are scholars. We are field-tested. And we have a responsibility to ask the “dumb” questions, the ones that actually spark excellence.
