Education
“As leaders, we tend to take on so much stuff…I found myself at times being closer to a human doer than a human being.”
As Dean of Education and Associate professor at Trine University’s Franks School of Education, Tony Kline is no stranger to the challenges educators face. While traditional education-program enrollment is down 10-25% nationally over the last decade, Trine University’s School of Education has grown enrollment by 187% since 2016.
What is the key to them bucking these trends?
Serving, equipping, and accelerating others through positive and responsive communication, strategic problem-solving, and integrity.
On this episode, we’ll speak with Tony Kline, Dean of Education and Associate professor at Trine University’s Franks School of Education. Today, Tony shares the important distinction between being a human doer and a human being. Tony also shares:
- How leadership is like wedding planning
- A framework for decision making
- And the importance of making daily deposits on your vision, results, relationships
As a former elementary teacher, Tony was surrounded by individuals who dedicated their lives to impacting students. Now as a dean for Trine University’s School of Education, Tony has had the great pleasure of working with colleagues to help prepare thousands of current teachers who are passionately serving in today's classrooms.
