We talk a lot on the podcast about finding ways to pursue your passion in education, but on your own terms, and today’s episode is no different. Dr. Shira Leibowitz is the perfect example of someone who believes that anything is achievable with the right mindset and vision. So, thinking about starting your own school? In today’s episode, Dr. Shira Leibowitz of Discovery Village, discusses designing purpose-driven schools. 

Before opening Discovery Village Childcare Center and Preschool in July, 2019, Dr. Shira Leibowitz spent twenty years as the principal of early childhood through eighth grade schools. Dr. Leibowitz saw opening a childcare center as an opportunity to design and lead a school reflecting her own vision for relationship rich, experiential, purpose-driven education. The work has been so meaningful that she also opened Revabilities™ Educational Leadership Training Center, supporting early childhood leaders to deliver customized purpose-driven, profitable programs, without burning themselves and their teams out in the process.

Dr. Shira Leibowitz, like many of you, had a unique path getting into education, but once she did, she went full-steam ahead! Wanting more than a traditional and structured school system, she eventually started her own school, Discovery Village. Being a purpose-driven school for early childhood, Discovery Village’s primary focus is the well-being of their students for a well-developed life. 

Believing that anything is achievable, Dr. Leibowitz is sharing her knowledge with others who are wanting to start their own school or programs based on purpose-driven learning. She has a lot of knowledge, advice, and the right mindset to help you achieve your educational visions. So if you’re ready to start your own purpose-driven school or program, listen to Dr. Leibowitz for implementation success!
