Frequently Asked Questions
What is Other Than Teaching?
Other Than Teaching is the #1 career transition resource for teachers who decide to continue their career outside the classroom.
Every year in the United States, hundreds of thousands of teachers decide to leave the classroom and face new job search challenges. From writing a resume, to updating LinkedIn, and even talking about their teaching experience in a way hiring managers can understand, we want to help teachers broaden their professional opportunities while still offering the value they bring to the workplace.
We focus on three actionable goals as Career Advocates for Teachers:
Preparing Teachers To Transition Out Of The Classroom
Promoting An Understanding Of Transferable Skills Among Potential Employers
Connecting Former Teachers To The Right Employers
Why help teachers leave the classroom?
According to a Learning Policy Institute Report, about 8% of American teachers leave the classroom each year for reasons other than retirement. With approximately 3.7 million teachers in service, that’s 295 thousand experienced education professionals transitioning to non-classroom jobs each year.
Our mission is not to encourage great teachers to leave the classroom, but to support and advocate for those who have decided that their most fulfilling career path leads elsewhere.
What about the teacher shortage?
We do not believe that there is a shortage of teachers; we believe that the job of classroom teaching does not meet the needs and expectations of enough professionals. We are advocates for educators and education wherever that takes place.
What about the students? Don’t they need good teachers?
Of course they do!
However, just like you wouldn’t want a burnt-out surgeon operating on you, or a dissatisfied cop answering your 911 call, you shouldn’t want an unfulfilled teacher teaching your kids.
Students deserve to be taught by adults who are living their purpose.
Why do teachers need help transitioning to new jobs?
Many teachers have not written a resume since they got their first teaching job. They are unlikely to have been active on LinkedIn or made the same kind of professional connections that other professionals do during their careers.
We’re here to help teachers enter (or re-enter) the business world without having to start from scratch.
What other jobs are teachers qualified for?
We LOVE this question!
Teachers are qualified to do so many jobs because classroom teaching is such a demanding position. Any job that requires planning, project management, evaluation, people-skills, and time management is a job at which a teacher will excel!
