Many, many thanks to Malcolm Wright for narrating our book! We received the last files and it will go live in a couple weeks. Malcolm has been an absolute joy to work with. His understanding of how to tell a story from his documentary work, along with his knowledge of the publishing industry from managing his grandfather's literary estate, has made the output of his first audiobook simply flawless.

Career journeys of educators who left the profession, and what we can learn from the crises in education
About us
The K-12 education sector is isolated from the wider economy, causing teachers and school administrators to feel stuck in jobs they no longer want and without clear pathways to pivot to new careers. By examining the career journeys of 20 former educators, we learn the reasons so many educators are seeking to leave the profession, from the constant crises to factors causing burnout and work-life imbalance, illustrating how schools and districts are failing to monitor and improve their employee experience and wellbeing. We examine educators’ skills and how they align with various professions, offer advice for changing careers, and explain why human resource and hiring managers should consider recruiting teachers and school administrators. • Why teachers and principals are quitting • What careers educators can pivot into • How to start a new career • Why companies should hire former educators • Identifying and understanding burnout and wellbeing • Ways to improve education The authentic career journeys of former educators who are succeeding in new career fields will inspire you to take the leap and begin your new career journey. Parents and policy makers who value keeping the best educators in their local schools will also be enlightened learning about the experiences of teachers and principals, and how we can once again make education a desirable career.

We're offering a special gift today. We are reviewing the files for the audio version of our book, which is being narrated by Malcolm Wright. Malcolm's career has been producing, directing, and narrating documentaries, so we are thrilled he selected our book to make his debut in audiobooks. Malcolm also happens to be the grandson of literary legend Richard Wright, and the connection to Chicago is an amazingly serendipitous phenomenon. We are excited for the final production of the audio book in December, but today we are sharing the audio file for the career journey of Dra. Alexandra Escobar, founder of Affirming Voices , a DEI consulting firm. Click this link to listen to her career journey, and we will place a link in the comments to purchase our book: https://lnkd.in/gwF2Benv
