We explore the various resource staff available in K-12 schools, how families and teachers can access these resources, and strategies for fostering collaboration between teachers and support staff to improve student learning outcomes. If you’re interested in the intersection of education, speech therapy, and resource support, this episode is packed with insights.

In this episode of The State of Education podcast, we dive into the growing crisis of Teacher Flight—the mass exodus of public school teachers across the U.S.—and its implications for students, parents, and the future of education. We explore why teachers are leaving the profession in record numbers, the impact of increasing workloads and mental health struggles, and why efforts by teachers’ unions are falling short. We also share practical tips on how parents and communities can support their local educators, helping ease the pressure on teachers and ensure a better quality of education for their children.
