What teachers need!

Kitty’s podcast offers great support to teachers who are looking to leave the classroom! Listening to her advice on my way to work helped my gain a lot of clarity about the options I have.

Genuinely helpful teacher/career podcast

I have gotten a number of really smart tips about my job search from these episodes. The advice has helped me really think through how to plan my next steps, what I really want for myself next, and then how to approach the job hunt to get that position. Thank you!!!
