📚teacher to instructional design career 💻 | everything you need to know!

[@christianray7470]

Thank you very much for your work! I’m feeling kind of happy right now that I’m not the only one trying to transition from teaching to e learning 😃

Thanks so much for watching - and yes you're definitely not alone! Feel free to ask any questions you have along the journey. You got this!

Great video! Especially since I am trying to upskill to a SR LED role or enablement role from my LMS Admin role lol Another thing I would add is to keep applying to jobs even if you land interviews because you always want something in the pipeline if an interview doesn’t land to an offer. The corporate hiring process takes longer than teaching interviews. Teacher interviews tend not to be more than 2 rounds because of the shortage, they are even hiring after just 1 round!

Oh wow yes that is a great thing to add! Always continuing to apply even if it seems like a sure thing will definitely help keep you safe!

Love it! These are great tips for transitioning. One thing I always encourage people to take on roles in their schools that allow them to write PD and leverage that as a skill.

[@SamTaylorEd]

YES! That is such a great tip - there's so much that translates to an ID role!

Im transitioning from IT in the military and working on my EDU PHd in Instructional Designer. What would be a great tip for me to stay focused

[@SamTaylorEd]

Congrats on transitioning to a new career! Sounds like you will have a lot of transferrable skills. I would say its important to practice your writing skills, so consider trying to write a few blog posts a week (maybe about topics in IT!) Hope this helps!
