Teacher's Ed with Edward DeShazer

About Teacher's Ed with Edward DeShazer

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.

Published 13 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] The thing about educators is that the majority of educators at their core are the most selfless people that walk this planet. The problem when you are selfless is that there's this teacher guilt where you will take yourself everyone else's problems on but then you refuse to give your problems to someone else and oftentimes because you are the one that's so conditioned to check on people to call to ask how they're doing to make sure everyone else is good that you often in life don't have someone who is asking you those exact same questions So we have to be the ones as educators who are asking ourselves that question on a regular basis before someone else has to point out to us in a much harder conversation.
