Think back to the last time you heard someone talking about Jon Snow, Danerys Targaryen, or Tyrion Lannister? Binge-watching the final season with your eyebrows permanently raised and wondering if you missed a PD session on plot twists? Maybe you were dodging spoilers like arrows at the Battle of the Bastards, or rewatching the Red Wedding to confirm that, yes, it was that traumatic. Or maybe you were listening to a trio of edu-podcasters drawing some fiery parallels between Westeros and the world of professional learning.
Whatever the case may be, let's hop back on the dragon and soar into all the political intrigue, power plays, and unexpected character arcs of Game of Thrones—to revisit the connections we made back in 2021.

As educators, we are all very used to the fact that the work we pour our hearts into most is ultimately fleeting. After all, our elementary school students are only with us for 6-7 years; our middle school students top out at 3, and our high school students, of course, are typically out the door and on the way to their futures in a mere four years.
Looking at this podcast through that lens, going into season 5 makes us pretty proud of how long the Grounded Learners Guild has stuck around! As a guild, we thought long and hard about how we wanted our 5th and final season to play out and we landed on this: like the coaches we are, we want to walk the walk when it comes to creating a collective experience of reflection and growth.
So even though we are dealing with the bittersweet reality that “all good things must come to an end” also applies to our beloved podcast, we’re truly excited to spend some time this season looking back on the episodes we’ve recorded, topics we’ve covered, and of course, the games we’ve played. And we hope you, listeners, will have some laughs, find some new learning, and enjoy reflecting right along with us.
