Episode 3:5 – The Many Hats of an Educator
What happens when you build a career in education without going to college to prepare for all the different roles you’ll eventually take on? Just ask Chris Blaize!
In this episode of Interventions and Detentions, I’m joined by my longtime friend Chris Blaize for a conversation about his unique journey through education and the many hats he’s worn along the way. From instructional assistant to transportation director, athletic department secretary, coach, and grounds maintenance, Chris has stepped into a variety of roles that help keep schools running and students supported.
Chris didn’t go to college planning to fill all these positions. His journey is a reminder that careers don’t always follow a straight line. Sometimes, you learn on the job, take a chance on something new, step up when you’re needed, and discover that your impact reaches far beyond the job description.
We’ll talk about the experiences behind those roles, the lessons learned along the way, and the people and moments that make working in education worthwhile. And since Chris and I have been friends since 1990, you can expect some laughs, a few stories, and a look at the person behind all those different hats.
Because schools need more than teachers and administrators. They need people who are willing to pitch in, solve problems, support their colleagues, and put kids first.
Join us for Episode 3:5, “The Many Hats of an Educator,” and celebrate the people behind the scenes who make a difference every day.
