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.
