Jumpstart Teacher Career Change
by Separating Work Systems from Creative Processes
I was stuck. I left the classroom before and failed to establish my own business. So I went back. Armed with new insights, I left again to take care of my family while establishing a home-based business. Then I got stuck again and almost went back to employment. I finally untangled myself by recognizing unhealthy work systems and establishing better work processes. To establish healthy work systems, I began writing regularly and hared my insights in this Untangle Series:
Should I Stay or Should I Go? Help for Teachers Feeling Stuck
Do this Before Leaving your Teaching Job: Figure out your Money Flow
Want to quit teaching but have to go back? Change can still happen starting with this.
I quit teaching, now what? Options I learned after quitting my teaching job
When Change Happens
Recognizing and establishing personal work systems is incomplete. In order to jumpstart teacher career change, you must create something. Thus, I also wrote about ways to create something based on what teachers know, starting with self-publishing low-content books.
On Sundays, when many teachers experience “Sunday Scaries” I publish System Sundays posts. To inspire teachers who might be discouraged midweek, I publish Creative Wednesday posts. Subscribe so you’ll not miss a post.
