Welcome to the Educator Burnout podcast!

Educator Burnout Podcast

Like many educators, I've contemplated resigning; unlike many others, I've yet to do so. UPDATE: On June 30, 2023, I made the extremely difficult decision to join the ranks of "resigned educators". As all of America grappled with the indirect effects of the pandemic, burnout induced exoduses within our profession captured many headlines. Some asserting that this narrative is exaggerated; others "sounded the alarm". Through this podcast, I hope to create a platform through which, collectively, we will determine if public education is indeed facing a crisis.

Tyrome D. Grant, Sr. Profile Photo

Tyrome D. Grant, Sr.

Tyrome was born in Greensboro, GA to Camiel Grant, Sr. and Annie Grant; he is the middle child of three. Both of his parents were life-long educators; therefore, it is no surprise that he and his siblings followed suit. Tyrome has devoted over 20 years to public education; 12 as an elementary school administrator. He currently serves as Principal of an elementary school in GA.

He and his wife, Graciela, of 26 years are the proud parents of Tyrome Jr, Caleb, and Rocket (the family's spoiled, I meant well-loved Maltese). Recently, they became proud "grandparents" to Simba, a beautiful pitbull.
