Self-Reg Misconception: “No matter how passionate, one Self-Regger can’t make change alone.”

Our 6th misconception in this series addresses a common feeling that many passionate educators face: the frustration of not being able to change others around them. Whether it’s colleagues, school staff, or those at the board level, it can feel overwhelming when you’re driven to make a difference but others don’t seem to “get it.”

In this video, we’ll explore this challenge and remind you that while it can be tough, you are not alone. Change often starts with just one person, and even small shifts can have a ripple effect that eventually impacts the entire school or community. It may not always be immediate, but your work and dedication matter, and you are making a difference, even when it doesn’t seem like it.

In this video, we dive into how to keep moving forward despite resistance. We emphasize the importance of approaching others with compassion and understanding. We’ll also share real-life stories of educators who started alone but ultimately sparked a larger movement.

Watch the video to learn how to navigate these challenges with resilience, compassion, and the courage to continue pushing for change, knowing that your efforts will have an impact.
