The Adventures After Teaching Podcast

It’s Time to Let Loose! Being Open to New Possibilities on Your Teacher Career Change Journey

Joanne Howard Season 5 Episode 3

“I can’t do this anymore.”

Secondary Science teacher, Susanna, was done with the classroom - but not with teaching! Still with a great passion for learning and for her subject, it was the commute, the pressure, and all those extra duties that were really taking a toll and brought her to the realisation that it was time for something new. 

Now a STEM educator for neurodivergent learners with online alternative provision Gaia Learning, Susanna is embracing the opportunity to be creative, enjoy flexibility in her life, deliver future-focused education that puts the learner first, and be a part of an inspiring working culture that truly values her. 

In this episode, we’re chatting: 

  • Feeling drained in the classroom
  • Positive interview experiences
  • Knowing when a company is a good fit for you
  • Working from home and all its perks
  • Digital tools and the future of learning
  • Enjoying holidays and travel
  • The importance of community
  • Rebranding yourself with a skills-based CV
  • Being open to new opportunities 🗺️
