## Resource

Wondering how to move beyond champions to teams? Find out more at https://bit.ly/CR-overview Inspired by Rita Pierson’s TED Talk "Every Child Deserves a Champion"? Discover why being a champion isn't enough and how a "Team" approach prevents teacher burnout and drives student success. More than a decade ago, Dr. Rita Pierson delivered one of the most powerful messages in education: “Every child deserves a champion.” While her 2013 TED Talk has inspired millions, it also highlights a challenging reality: the narrative of teacher individualism is leading to exhaustion and burnout. In this inspiring staff video, Kurtis Hewson of Jigsaw Learning explores how we can take Rita’s vision one step further. If we want teachers to be champions, we must move away from the "hero teacher" model and toward a Collaborative Response. We discuss: The hidden cost of the "Champion" narrative: Teacher burnout and isolation. Moving from individual responsibility to Collective Efficacy. Why the most effective schools layer their teams to support both students and staff. How to build systems where no teacher ever feels alone in their classroom. Every child deserves a champion, but more importantly, every child deserves a team. And so does every educator working tirelessly to make a difference. #RitaPierson #EveryChildDeservesAChampion #SchoolLeadership #TeacherBurnout #CollaborativeResponse #MTSS #CollectiveEfficacy #EducationTEDTalk #inspiringvideo #schools ______________________ Are you looking to further your growth as a collaborative leader?
