Back to the Bell is where teaching and mom life collide. Hosted by two former school administrators turned classroom champions, Hayley and Shannon take you behind the scenes of education—from anchor charts to carline chaos. With raw honesty, relatable stories, and just the right amount of laughter, this podcast is for educators, parents, and anyone trying to balance it all with heart.
🔔 Real talk. Real classrooms. Real life—because the bell always rings again.
In this episode, Hayley and Shannon dive into the hot topic of AI in education—from ChatGPT to SchoolAI and everything in between. They explore how students are using AI (ethically and… not-so-ethically), how teachers can use it to save time without losing heart, and how to strike the right balance between boundaries and innovation. Packed with real-life examples, practical tips, and a few laughs, this episode helps you embrace AI as a tool—not a threat. Because let’s be real—robots still can’t do recess duty.
