Next week, after 29 years in Catholic education (17 in the classroom, 12 in diocesan administration), Chris is (mostly) leaving teaching behind to work with Emily and take over the business side of all she does. This week, after 17 years in the classroom, Casey is also leaving teaching behind to work with Kate on a host of different creative projects, from their music to theatre camps for kids. So this week, we’re talking a little about those decisions and a lot about what they have learned about education during their years in the classroom, from how education has changed over the years to how it needs to continue to change as AI looms large.

P.S. Making huge life transitions is scary, but a whole lot less scary when you’re doing it with friends.
