While we take a summer breather, we're revisiting one of our most-loved episodes from earlier this year...
Every year, an average of 40,000 teachers leave the classroom. Why is this happening - and what can we do about it?
In this episode, we speak with Mike Leaman, Founder of Classroom Exit Coach and former school leader with over a decade in education leadership.
Mike shares powerful insights into why educators are stepping away - from burnout and toxic cultures to feeling undervalued and under constant scrutiny.
This isn't a call to leave the profession - it's a call to understand what's driving people out, and how we can better support those working in education.
