Andrea Forcum—known to her 1.3M+ followers as @EducatorAndrea—is the unfiltered voice teachers didn’t know they needed. With nearly a decade of classroom experience (pre and post COVID), a doctorate, two master’s degrees, and an instinct for sharp satire, Andrea has become a rallying point for educators worldwide.
As host of the How to Survive the Classroom podcast, Andrea blends the chaos of real-life teaching with cathartic comedy. Part advice column, part survival guide, and part group therapy, Andrea dons her trauma tiara to tackle call-ins and confessions from fellow educators and brave educator allies. From hilarious war stories to brutal burnout moments, join us as we strategize, survive, and occasionally let out a good old-fashioned cathartic scream into the void.
Now a professor at Indiana State University, a sought-after speaker, and a touring comedian with The Teacher’s Lounge, Andrea is leading a movement of educators who want to feel seen, heard, and hysterically validated. Her audience isn’t just large—it’s loyal, engaged, and made up of the very people who influence school culture and buying decisions every single day.
