Homeroom Attendance
You know that look teachers give each other in the hallway? The one that says everything without saying a word?
That's what this show is.
Homeroom Attendance is the podcast for educators who are done with the watered-down professional development and ready for real talk about what it actually takes to show up, lead well, and build a culture that doesn't burn people out.
Every episode, host Edward DeShazer brings lived experience, practical tools, and honest conversation straight to the teacher lounge. Whether you're a classroom teacher, a school leader, a counselor, or an administrator, there is something here for you.
No Pinterest PD. No corporate buzzwords. Just the kind of conversation educators actually need.
Each episode delivers a clear takeaway, a mindset reframe, and one action step you can use today or tomorrow. Because the best professional development doesn't make you feel talked at. It makes you feel seen.
Pull up a chair. Attendance is being taken.
