This video is a goldmine for teachers who are looking to switch careers. Your tips on avoiding these mistakes are invaluable. I'll be sharing this with my fellow educator friends who are considering a change. Keep up the fantastic work!
Hello Arifa @byeteaching! Thank you for your kind words regarding the video and the tips I shared. 😀 Just like you, my team and I work really hard to help teachers see their value and transfer their skills to a new career. Thank you for sharing this resource with those in your network. 😀 We would love to collaborate with you. You can message us at hello@teachertransition.com.
This was a great video on the transition from teaching to becoming an Instructional Designer. I literally just got a job offer as an Instructional Designer for a Banking Mortgage company in Colorado. I taught for one year as a teacher and before that I was a Training and Development Specialist. I enjoyed teaching but could not see it as an "forever job". I received alot of rejection from corporate businesses because they thought working in teaching was completely different than working in business. That is true, however, I like how you mentioned if you are working in Learning and Development, it is the same everywhere. I honestly had to explain that to a few employers. This is a great video that is needed for all who are thinking of transitioning out of education.

Congrats!!!
This is everything! This is how I feel about teaching and I am trying so hard to get out! It’s not been easy. Thanks for sharing your journey. I loved this!
I have been teaching for 12 years. Now I'm getting a master's degree in ID. Your video makes me feel great about my decision to switch career paths.
I am interested in a remote job. I'm a single parent that teaches in the public school, & I do not have enough hours in the day with a 4 yr old. My daughter & I are constantly sick. I've taught for 28 yrs and think it's time for change.
What a beautiful motivation! I have littles too and having the flexibility to be around for so much more is so life-giving! This quiz might be helpful in deciding which direction to head: teachertransition.com/quiz1/
I taught elementary to nine years, and when I was ready to be done with it all, my husband accepted a new position in another state. It was the perfect time to switch careers, and after only getting two interviews in a year of endlessly searching and applying, I recently have started a new ID position, but now I have serious imposter syndrome. Your videos are PERFECT for my situation and giving me confidence that I need. I feel so relieved I'm not alone in this super specific situation, and I can't thank you enough for your videos, they mean the world to me ❤️❤️
Congratulations on going after the job!! That's proof that you ARE qualified!

Very insightful thank you! I am looking to get into ID myself.
So glad this could help! What other questions do you have about ID?
I am so glad to have found this! This is exactly how I feel so I’ve been taking the steps to create a portfolio but I’m in need of some help transitioning. I’ve taught for 14 years and I know teaching is not my forever . I love creating so ID is the route I’m taking. Any advice/mentor/assistance will help!! Thank you

@@TeacherTransition Is the ID course only for former teachers? I'm a teaching assistant at a high school, and interested in transitioning to ID. Thanks!
it’s even harder to take the leap when you are a single parent if 2 teenagers 😭
Thanks for the great content. I'm transitioning to a career in ID and would like to do it remotely. Does Felicia work abroad as well?
I am a middle school teacher, and it's boring and frustrating. Teaching in the K-12 environment is boring. I have to transition to an edtech role in order for me to remain in some aspect of education.
This is a perfect transition for a career to be able to continue learning, growing and advancing! Let me know if you have any questions about your transition!
I'm a former special education preschool teacher looking into the ID field. Is being a trainer the next step?
Hey there! Great question! Former teachers do well in lots of roles like trainers, instructional designers, and customer service specialists to name a few! Our membership would be a great place to explore all these things and get coaches to answer your questions each month! Check that out here: courses.teachertransition.com/collections/memberships
Thank you so much girls! You both have amazing energy and have inspired me a lot through this exchange. What a great channel! I would love to build a channel like yours one day. I need to figure out how to start step A without getting completely overwhelmed by step BCDEF...
Keep up the good work 🤍
