Forget the team-building games, icebreakers, and endless PD slides — this is the real back-to-school training every teacher needs but no one handed you.
In this episode, we’re joined by Jay from The Human Resource — an HR Practitioner who has seen exactly how districts build cases, protect bad leadership, and push teachers out without saying a word. Together, we’re breaking down how to survive the school year with your sanity, certification, and receipts intact.
We’re talking:
- What HR won’t tell you (but you need to know)
- How to document bullying, retaliation & gaslighting
- What to do if you're asked to resign
- Chapter 21 contracts explained in plain English
- The power of board policy & how to use it to fight back
- Why we built The School Truth Project — and how we’re helping teachers every day
Whether you’re a new teacher or a vet who’s seen some things, this is the episode you’ll wish you heard before Day 1.
Because the real danger isn’t what’s in the classroom — it’s what’s happening behind the scenes.
