Kelly's Ordinary People Podcast

Not just a teacher; An inspiration

Kelly Gurski Season 1 Episode 23

This week I chat to my friend Alish Conley.  

When I and my high needs kids met Alish at the school she was teaching at; she had been teaching for 15 years.   We walked in and turned her teaching world upside down!!!  She basically saved us all.

My kids taught Alish patience and she taught them that they were worthy.  Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard we have for teachers is a lost tradition.    I regard Alish as one of the best teachers, if not the best,  I have ever met, and I have met a quite a lot.  

Fast forward to 12ish years later and Alish is the Principal of her own school and still has a soft spot  for kids who do it tough.

Alish is also as physically strong as she is emotionally resilient; having trained in Muay Thai in Thailand.  What a tough cookie.

You will love this chat!  She is an amazing human!!!  You are going to wish every teacher was like her!!
