Teacher Resources
Fund for Teachers is the only nationwide organization to invest in teachers' self-designed professional learning. They invite PK-12 educators to pursue any topic, anywhere with a $5,000 fellowship grant.
Their program values teachers as leaders, innovators and changemakers in their classrooms and careers, which simultaneously encourages them to remain in the profession. Application available annually, October to January, at fundforteachers.org.
The first season of Those Who Can't Teach Anymore is a product of a fellowship grant.
You may remember hearing about the Teacher Career Coach in Season 1. If you are considering leaving the classroom, the Teacher Career Coach is a wonderful and practical resource to help you identify how your skills as a teacher can transfer into another field.
Many of the teachers that I have interviewed that have successfully left the classroom began that process with the Teacher Career Coach.
