Schoolutions

Olivia Wahl brings more than 25 years of experience as a teacher and instructional coach to Schoolutions, a weekly podcast that airs every Monday with actionable strategies for coaches, teachers, administrators, and families. Now in its fifth season, the show has featured over 100 expert interviews with education researchers, master teachers, school administrators, and instructional leaders, and Wahl uses those conversations to build a practical bridge between what the research says and what educators can actually do on Monday morning. The podcast covers a wide range of classroom topics -- student engagement, classroom management, trauma-responsive pedagogy, student autonomy, classroom design, and collaborative learning structures -- but always with an emphasis on specific, implementable strategies rather than abstract theory. Wahl has a coaching background that shapes her interviewing style. She draws out concrete examples from her guests, asks follow-up questions that get to the how rather than just the what, and often synthesizes takeaways at the end of episodes so listeners leave with clear next steps. Bonus episodes feature Wahl reflecting on her own takeaways from guest conversations and sharing additional coaching and classroom management ideas sparked by those discussions. The show positions itself at the intersection of school and home, recognizing that student growth happens in both contexts and that educators and families need to work together. Episodes typically run 25 to 40 minutes and the production is clean and professional. For educators and school leaders looking for a podcast that consistently delivers strategies you can put into practice immediately, Schoolutions has built a strong and growing catalog of useful episodes.
