The path to your first job as a teacher may not go how you expect it to and that is absolutely okay! Sometimes the unexpected and nontraditional paths lead to an amazing opportunity. That's how my guest today, Beth Bowe, ended up in her position where she is happier than she ever thought she could be.

Beth Bowe started out subbing and quickly realized that she was meant to be a teacher. She went back and got her alternative certification before interviewing for a fourth grade position that she didn't get. When the resource teacher retired two months into the school year, Beth took over her position and was able to utilize the R.E.A.D.Y. for School Academy resources and information to thrive in her new special education position!
