Teacher Transition Podcast

The majority of teachers who need to make a transition wait until they reach rock-bottom to start looking...myself included. 

But sometimes that’s because we need space to be honest and process about the stress and lack of fulfillment we’re experiencing. We just need to talk. In this episode, I’m not offering any solutions. I’m just sharing the story of when I knew it was time to quit teaching. 

It is my hope that you feel seen, heard, and understood, and that you have the courage to share your story too. Listen to find out how you can send me YOUR story this week!

When I say the word "quit", as in “quit teaching”, what comes to mind? Maybe “give up”? You know- the one thing, we tell our students to NEVER do? 

My hunch is that there are parts of your job as a teacher that you love. So for just a moment, let’s replace “quit” with “advance” so you can pursue your next job with more confidence... and less guilt. 

In this episode, I’m going to share with you 4 perfect jobs for teachers who want to advance, not QUIT. If challenge is what you’re craving, it’s a good thing and you need to pursue it!

The first few years of teaching are filled with SO much growth, so many new experiences, mastering new things, and learning new things. That’s why the first few years are one big mix of feeling fulfilled and exhausted all at the same time! You’re implementing strategies and routines and constantly tweaking. Then a few years into it you hit a sweet spot. By that point, the job itself may not be easy, but you’ve mastered the ropes in some areas and you know what you’re doing. In the years after that, however, many teachers feel like they hit a plateau where instead of learning more and being refreshed by new experiences, new learning, and new ways of contributing, they get it a rut of a routine with the same things day in and day out day after day.
