Homeroom Attendance

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.

“Educators are struggling more than ever with outdated curriculum, compliance checklists, and exhaustion. It is so nice to have a positive listening experience — a podcast that is dedicated to sharing stories of educators that are change-makers and trailblazers. This is a must-listen!”
- Jake Daggett
