    How to Transform Your Teaching Career Into Something New

    This week I'm chatting with Lisa Harding, CEO of Teacher Career Transitions Academy, about how educators can successfully transition to careers outside the classroom.

    Born into a family of teachers but taking a different path herself, Lisa shares her journey from educational technology executive to certified career coach dedicated to helping teachers recognize their transferable skills and overcome imposter syndrome.

    Whether you're considering leaving teaching, looking for a side hustle, or planning for post-retirement opportunities, this dynamic conversation provides valuable insights and practical steps for your career journey.


    Key Points Discussed:

    • Common misconceptions teachers have about changing careers and overcoming imposter syndrome
    • Current career paths that are excellent matches for teachers' skill sets
    • How to rebrand classroom skills into corporate-friendly resume language
    • A step-by-step process for transitioning out of teaching
    • Practical exercises to identify your transferable skills and career options
    • The importance of networking when considering a career change
    • and so much more!

    Even if you're not looking to leave teaching right now, this information is incredibly valuable. Many of us will eventually move beyond the classroom, and understanding your options can actually reduce stress and provide peace of mind.

  • Rethinking School Flexibility to Fight Teacher Burnout + Boost Teacher Retention

    4 Flexibility Options Schools Need NOW to Retain Great Teachers


    In this week's episode, I share something deeply personal that has been on my mind since I left the classroom full-time two years ago. The truth? I never stopped loving teaching or my students - I simply needed more flexibility than traditional school structures could offer.


    The Flexibility Crisis in Education


    Let's be honest - teaching has become an all-or-nothing profession. You're either in the classroom full-time or completely out of education. This inflexible system is driving away talented educators who love teaching but need options that accommodate:

    • Young children at home
    • Aging parents requiring care
    • Personal health needs
    • Work-life balance

    In this episode, I explore four potential solutions that could enable teachers to remain in the profession while enjoying more flexibility in their schedules.

    They include:


    1. Reimagined Sabbaticals
    Not just unpaid leave, but structured breaks (6 months to a year) with:

    • Partial pay possibilities
    • Guaranteed retention of tenure
    • Maintained healthcare benefits
    • Return-to-position guarantees


    2. Expanded Job Shares
    Allow two excellent teachers to split one full-time position:

    • Flexible scheduling options
    • Maintained benefits (critical improvement needed)
    • Reduced burnout
    • Preserved institutional knowledge
    • Collaborative teaching partnerships
    • Less disruption for students


    3. Reduced Load Contracts
    Common in higher education but rarely available in K-12:

    • Teach fewer classes/sections
    • Perfect for experienced educators
    • Opportunity to bring back retired teachers as mentors
    • Reduce burnout while maintaining connections


    4. Administrative Support Systems
    Address the number one complaint: "I love teaching - it's all the OTHER stuff that wears me out"

    • Dedicated admin support for paperwork
    • Help with data entry, reporting, emails
    • Grade management assistance
    • Parent communication support

    2025/04/16

    Send us a text

    Why Your Smartphone Policy May Be Destroying Your School Culture


    Is your classroom filled with anxious, distracted students who can't handle minor setbacks? Research shows technology is rewiring their brains, and not in a good way.

    In this essential episode, discover the stark difference between phone-free and phone-accessible schools, learn how the "attention economy" deliberately creates addiction, and get practical strategies for every grade level to build resilience and focus without fighting constant battles over devices.


    Key Insights:

    • Why the "attention economy" is deliberately engineered to hook young minds
    • Four neurological impacts: social deprivation, sleep deprivation, attention fragmentation, and addiction
    • Grade-specific strategies that work even without school-wide phone bans
    • Evidence-based activities that build resilience through appropriate risk-taking

    Whether you're witnessing technology's toll firsthand or concerned about rising student anxiety, these actionable approaches will help you create an environment where students can develop the social skills and emotional regulation they desperately need.
