59. When “More” Becomes the Norm: Expectation Inflation

Ever notice that no matter how much you give, it never seems to be enough? You’re not imagining it. In this episode, we dive into expectation inflation. We’re talking about the rising tide of responsibilities and pressures placed on educators, often without increased support. From shifting policies to the unspoken “good teacher” myth, we chat about what’s fueling the pressure and how it’s affecting teacher well-being, student experience, and school culture.
