Teachers are still leaving education at an alarming rate. In the new season of Those Who Can't Teach Anymore, we will get a look at a year in the life of a teacher. We will meet 15 teachers from across the country who volunteered to keep weekly personal audio journals of their 2023-2024 school year.

These teachers recorded on their own at home on their couches, in their kitchens, in their classrooms, or on their drives to work. Teachers everywhere are all going through similar things. If we have a better understanding of what teachers experience, we might be able to take the steps needed to help keep brilliant teachers in education.

Look for Episode 1 on May 6, National Teacher Appreciation Day.
