Episode notes
AI As A Workforce Lifeline
- Leanne argues AI can be the saviour of the teacher workforce by reducing workload that drives people out of schools.
- She observes the real problem is not a lack of teachers but fewer wanting to teach in schools due to administrative drudgery.
Why New Teachers Often Leave
- Leanne recounts how many new teachers leave after a few years having realised other careers appeal more than classroom work.
- She frames that initial turnover as a traditional pattern, not primarily caused by classroom behaviour issues.
Mid-Career Exodus And Paperwork

- She believes generative AI can solve many of those documentation and accountability pains.
