Summary
What career options are available for teachers? Is it true that other industries don't value education degrees or teaching experience? What else is possible when you feel like the "only" thing you know how to do is teach?
Daphne Williams of Teacher Career Coach is on this week's episode to provide guidance to those who are considering a career move outside the classroom. Together, we destigmatize the desire to find another career, and help teachers process the unwarranted embarrassment and guilt that can come with leaving teaching.
You'll also learn:
-Why teaching has prepared you for a multitude of other careers
-How to translate your experience from classroom to corporate so potential employers understand the value of your skills
-What types of industries frequently hire former teachers
-How (and when) to apply for positions in the 2020 job market
-How to find work when you live in a rural area or small town
-Why you should do the math on how much you're making per hour when comparing your teaching salary to other fields
If you are looking for affordable support in transitioning out of the classroom, I'm proud to partner with Daphne as an affiliate of her Teacher Career Coach online course and networking group.
