We spend a lot of time discussing how to make money outside of the classroom, how to start a website, how to find jobs in other fields, how to set goals for yourself, and the list goes on.

But today I want to talk about something I've never talked about before...teacher leave.  Understanding what types of leave you can take (and when you can take those times of leave) could actually be the first step in your exit process.

However, for that to be the case, we need to dig into questions like...

• How long do teachers get for maternity leave?
• How does FMLA work for teachers?
• Can I use FMLA even if I plan to leave the classroom permanently?
• How much of a role do school districts play in personal leave, sick leave, and /or annual leave?
• What does this information have to do with my exit strategy?

And what about the teacher with a chronic illness?  What about the teacher who is ready to leave the classroom, can that teacher use leave?

Well, that's exactly what we're going to explore in this episode!!
