The Edu20/20 Podcast
Welcome to The Edu20/20 Podcast where Courtney and Shannon take the real, messy challenges teachers and coaches face and turn them into simple moves that actually work.
They’ve spent years in classrooms, PLCs, and district offices, so they’ve seen plenty, learned even more, and aren’t shy about laughing at the parts we all recognize and can relate to. You’ll hear clear language, straight answers, and the kind of stories that make you feel like you’re sitting with two friends who genuinely understand the work.
Each episode tackles a topic educators are wrestling with right now and turns it into practical steps you can use tomorrow. If you want clarity, confidence, and a little comic relief, hit follow.

Welcome to the After Hours edition of the Edu20/20 Podcast. Think of this as the space where we tell the stories that don’t usually make it into our trainings but absolutely shaped who we are as educators.
In today’s episode, it’s all things Courtney. Specifically, the era we now lovingly call Avocado Gate. Yes, she really got written up for a dancing Snapchat avocado during a leadership meeting. Yes, it was as ridiculous as it sounds. But it also raised a real question about how often schools focus on the wrong things.
Shannon jumps in with two stories of her own. One involves alternative school and the other involves a spider at recess that led to a very unexpected PG-13 vocabulary lesson for an entire playground. Both are peak educator humor and peak educator resilience.
If you’ve ever worked in a school, you probably have a few stories like these. This episode is for teachers, mentors, coaches, and anyone who survived school culture with a sense of humor still intact.
We’re just getting started with these. Both in the hours and after hours.
