Welcome to If Teachers Ruled the World, a podcast for educators who are tired of being told how teaching should be, and ready to talk about what it really is. I’m Leah Cleary, a classroom teacher with over 25 years of experience, and I’m here to share the honest, messy, powerful stories that define our profession. From practical strategies and classroom wins to burnout, bureaucracy, and policy debates, this show brings teacher voices front and center.

Whether you’re looking for a bit of encouragement on a hard week, fresh ideas to energize your planning, or a space that “gets it,” you’re in the right place. Tune in, reflect, and recharge. This podcast was made for you.
