Angela Watson's Truth for Teachers
S3EP04 Five things I learned from quitting my teaching job twice
24 Jan 2016
Some of you are barely making it through the school year, and the idea of going into school each morning just makes you sick with stress and anxiety. You want to quit more than anything but have no idea what the alternative would be. I get it. I have been in your shoes. Others of you still love teaching, but you're feeling an itch to do something different. You want to make a greater impact for kids, or you want a flexible schedule, or just feel like there's something more out there for you. I've been in that position, too. You see, I've quit teaching twice: once because the school environment was so toxic that I hated my job, and once because I wanted to shift into a different role in education. I'll share both of those stories with you in this episode, along with 5 things I learned that might be helpful if you're thinking about quitting for either reason.
