OM DENNE EPISODE
Educators care about their students. But what happens when the demands of the job make staying harder?
On this episode of The Burnt Out Educator, Coach Joe Marino sits down with Dr. Ryan Bodensteiner of the University of Kansas to discuss teacher burnout, the shrinking school leadership pipeline, and what it takes to support the people supporting our kids.
Drawing on his experience as a teacher, principal, and assistant superintendent, Ryan shares why relationships and measurable student progress both matter. He and Coach Joe also debate AI in education, where it can save teachers time, where it falls short, and why human judgment needs to stay involved.
An honest conversation about keeping great educators, preparing new leaders, and making sure students and families remain at the center of the work.
