    Gotta Shake This Year Off

    Whelp. It's summer time and that means time to remember the things that bring you joy and enjoy them. As we wrap-up season one of the podcast, I am so grateful for the community of educators (current and former) that are sharing their experiences and helping other educators feel seen and understood. It's wonderful to witness. Another wonderful things to witness: flights, roadtrips and margaritas without having to wake up early and teach. Enjoy your summer everyone! See you in August!

    Who’s Gon’ Counsel the Counselors?

    I complain as a teacher but I would really complain as a school counselor. Handling crises, supporting the social & emotional health of students and assisting with college and career readiness? Yeah, that’s a no for me. However, it’s a yes for so many of our school’s overlooked heroes. My guest Kayla McIlwain gets into the nitty-gritty of her role with us on this week’s episode.

    The life of a teacher never really ends. We may be "off the clock" but when there's always after-school meetings, events and work to be done, when does the clock really turn off?
