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.
