The Teachers Ed Podcast ends today and it’s personal. I’m not dropping an announcement and walking away; I’m sitting with you for an honest thank you, a clear apology for the times I went quiet, and the real reason I can’t keep building this the old way. Educators do not have extra time, extra energy, or extra patience for things that don’t serve them, and I’ve felt the weight of that every time you pressed play after a long day.

I take it back to March 2020, when schools shut down overnight and teachers were handed laptops and told to figure out remote learning through a crisis nobody trained us for. That’s when I started recording at my kitchen table because we needed something real: not a district memo, not a lifeless professional development deck, but a place to talk about the pressure, the joy, the exhaustion, and the purpose of teaching. That mission stays, but the structure has to change if I’m going to serve you with consistency and care.

So here’s the shift: Teachers Ed is ending, but nothing disappears from your feed. We’re rebranding and evolving into Homeroom Attendance, launching late April from a brand new Homeroom Media studio. Expect better sound, a bigger table, more guest voices, more in-person conversations, YouTube video episodes, and an education news segment designed to inform you and help you do the job while feeling better doing it. The promise is simple: you are not the problem. This show exists to help you navigate the systems that are.

Stay subscribed, share this with a teacher or school leader who needs it, and when Homeroom Attendance launches, come listen and leave a review so more educators can find the room.
