Welcome to the very first episode of Back to the Bell! In this candid kickoff, meet your hosts—Hayley and Shannon—two former school administrators who first crossed paths in 2018. We share how our friendship was built in the whirlwind of leadership and what led us, seven years later, to trade our walkie-talkies and staff meetings for whiteboards and anchor charts.
From hallway decisions to heart-led pivots, we're opening up about why we both returned to the classroom, what we've learned along the way, and why we created this podcast. Spoiler alert: it’s not just about teaching—it’s about real life, real challenges, and real community.
Whether you're in the classroom, carline, or curled up with a cup of coffee, we’re so glad you're here. Let’s get Back to the Bell.
