Scrum? Agile? If you’ve never heard those words before—or assumed they were just tech buzzwords—this episode is your crash course into a career path more teachers should know about.
In this conversation, Lisa sits down with Johnathan Vo, founder of School of Scrum, to explore how teachers can successfully transition into Agile roles—especially those who enjoy structure, collaboration, problem-solving, and project-based work.
Johnathan breaks down:• What Scrum and Agile actually mean—and how they’re used in companies today• Why teachers are often naturals in Agile roles (think: facilitation, adaptability, team leadership)• What kinds of job titles and industries use these methods• How his School of Scrum program helps teachers break into the field
If you’re a teacher who thrives on helping teams work smarter, leading projects, or bringing clarity to chaos—this could be a path worth exploring.
This episode will give you the clarity you need to decide whether Agile might be the right next chapter for you.
