Some of you are barely making it through the school year, and the idea of going into school each morning\\xa0just makes you sick with stress and anxiety. You want to quit more than anything but have no idea what the alternative would be. I get it. I have been in your shoes.

Others of you still love teaching, but you\\u2019re feeling an itch to do something different. You want to make a greater impact for kids, or you want a flexible schedule, or just feel like there\\u2019s something more out there for you. I\\u2019ve been in that position, too.

You see, I\\u2019ve quit teaching twice: once because the school environment was so toxic that I hated my job, and once because I wanted to shift into a different role in education. I\\u2019ll share both of those stories with you in this episode, along with 5 things I learned that might be helpful if you\\u2019re thinking about quitting for either reason.
