Was it student behavior, unrealistic expectations, lack of administrative support, constant new initiatives, parent interactions, workload, or something else?

I'm researching an upcoming podcast episode about teacher burnout and would love to hear your experiences. I'm especially interested in the moment you realized something had changed—not just what burned you out, but when you knew it.

Right before we leave for summer break, many teachers send in for runs to be copied over the summer for the following school year. Our Curriculum Director decided to go to the copy center, remove anything she considered "fluff," and toss it out, including the originals. She also went through anything sent through email and deleted those runs as well. Then she sent an email letting those teachers know and told them, "They can do better." No questions or discussions. Thoughts?

What Does PBIS Tier 3 Actually Look Like in Schools Where It Exists?

I'm not looking for definitions or what PBIS manuals say should happen. I'm interested in what actually happens in your school.

For teachers and administrators working in schools with PBIS:

• What Tier 3 supports are actually available?
• Who provides them?
• How often do students receive them?
• What happens when Tier 1 and Tier 2 interventions aren't enough?
• Do you have counselors, behavior specialists, interventionists, resource rooms, Wraparound services, community partnerships, or something else?
• Are these supports consistently available, or do they depend on staffing and funding?

I'm especially interested in hearing from schools where Tier 3 is working well. What does it look like day-to-day?

I'm also curious whether teachers feel Tier 3 exists in practice or mostly exists on paper.

Specific examples would be greatly appreciated.

Teachers, interventionists, specialists, and administrators:

I'm researching a podcast episode about RTI, MTSS, PBIS, and Standards-Based Grading. One question keeps coming up:

What does Tier 3 actually look like in schools where these systems are working well?

I'm not asking what the model says should happen. I'm asking what is happening in real schools.

If your school has a successful Tier 3 system:

• What services are provided?
• Who provides them?
• How often do students receive support?
• Is it one-on-one, small group, or something else?
• What staffing makes it possible?
• What makes it successful?

If you've worked in a school where Tier 3 didn't really exist, I'd be interested in hearing that perspective too.

No district names needed. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

I'm a recently retired teacher, and have taught both Elementary and Middle School in Illinois. I am researching a podcast episode about Standards-Based Grading (SBG) and would love to hear from people who have experienced it firsthand.

If your district uses or has used SBG, what was your experience?

• What changed when SBG was introduced?
• What worked well?
• What didn't work well?
• How did teachers, students, and parents respond?
• Did it improve student learning, improve communication about learning, both, or neither?
• Looking back, what do you think your district got right?
• What do you think your district got wrong?

I'm interested in hearing from teachers, administrators, interventionists, and parents.

I recently started a podcast focused on the realities of today’s education system from a teacher's perspective.

I’m curious — what topics do you think aren’t being talked about enough in education right now?

Could be:

• classroom behavior
• parent dynamics
• testing
• burnout
• special education
• school leadership
• phones/social media
• teacher retention
• Anything else you think the public misunderstands

I’d genuinely love to hear what educators are seeing.

Teachers, what are your thoughts on promoting students to the next grade even though they are not passing? Should the social-emotional piece be more important than mastery?
