Are you thinking of leaving the classroom?

Before you begin your research into what role might be the best fit for you, you need to deeply dive into your financial situation.

One of the biggest takeaways from my 3 years working at eSpark Learning (my first job outside of the classroom) was the importance of collecting, analyzing, and acting on data. I had incredible leaders like David Vinca (founder and CEO), Luke Shepard (CTO), and Scott Shepard (Data Analyst), who taught me that if you use data correctly, it can have a major impact on your growth. There are two essential activities that I have implemented as an entrepreneur that have allowed me to skyrocket to success: my Friday morning financial roundup and my Monday morning deep data dive.

Today, one of my Classroom to Boardroom students received a job offer at her dream company. She called me to celebrate and said, "I'm going to need two weeks to let go of all the stress I've been feeling at school." Thankfully, she will get those two weeks to relax after her last day as a teacher. But, the conversation got me thinking, are your teacher stress and trauma holding you back from reaching your next role?
