Customer Reviews
Lots of resources and guidance
Ali interviews many different stakeholders on this journey. Clear, well organized and helpful.
Advertisement for paid content
This podcast is essentially an advertisement for the $500 Instructional Design course.
I was excited to use the ID course with Teacher Transition; however, the course did not meet my accessibility needs. When I requested a refund, I was denied. They did begin working towards addressing the accessibility issue; however, by time I was told they were working on the solution, I had asked for a refund four times and nearly two weeks had elapsed. I am stalled out in making forward movement towards my path towards transitioning out of the classroom.
Inspiring and Informative
I love listening to Teacher Transition. Every episode is packed with useful and relevant information for teachers interested in work opportunities outside of traditional teaching.
