In this episode of The Edu20/20 Podcast After Hours, Courtney Dumas and Shannon Street take you behind the scenes of life on the road as co-owners of Edu20/20. When you travel across states supporting teachers and leaders, you collect stories… and we’ve collected a lot.

In this episode:
- The infamous Office Depot bathroom injury (yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like)
- The gas station with the “Please don’t wipe your boogers on the wall” sign
- A steak knife mysteriously embedded three floors up in a hotel wall
- The unsettling third-floor window waver
- Courtney's sole criterium for choosing a hotel (it's not stars)
- The Airbnb snake incident (and attic extension cord situation 😳)

In this episode, we’re breaking down a game-changing practice: lesson framing.

If your students constantly ask:
“Is this for a grade?”
“Why I gotta do this?”
…it might not be defiance. It might be that the lesson wasn’t framed clearly.

We talk about:
- What “lesson framing” actually means (beyond writing standards on the board for compliance)
- How framing creates clarity, predictability, and smoother lessons
- Why your third-period lesson always hits harder than first period (and how to fix that)
- Quick ways to frame lessons without adding a ton of planning time
- How leaders can use the same framing moves to improve PD and PLC buy-in
- A real example of how clear learning targets helped students actually remember what they learned

Welcome back to the Edu20/20 Podcast: After Hours where the vibes are relaxed, and the stories are unfiltered.

In this episode, Shannon Street and Courtney Dumas swap teacher-and-student prank stories.

You’ll hear:
- The remote-control fart machine prank that had an entire class convinced Shannon was guilty
- Courtney’s “good kid gone rogue” moment involving stolen transparencies… and an April Fools expulsion prank that nearly ended her emotionally
- A classroom “fire” prank that turned into full-on Lord of the Flies in the woods
- The coordinated chaos of middle school students (pencils dropping, fake fainting, mystery kitten noises)
- The time a science “anatomy body” was used as a bathroom prank… and why Shannon immediately retired from pranking forever 😬

Got a prank story that’s family-friendly (or at least technically legal)? Drop it in the comments. We want to hear your best ones.
