Education as your second career? [Friday Coffee Corner]
This week have been BUSY, I got sick, rushing on the backlog of emails...being an entrepreneur and educator is really hard. But the good news is, I've just had an inspiring conversation with Shani Chen, Ed.D.—an educator who transitioned into teaching as a second career and is now a College & Career Readiness Coach! Her journey is a reminder that our paths don’t always go as planned, but sometimes that’s where the magic happens. Here’s what stood out: 🔄 Embrace the Pivot: Don’t be afraid to change directions if something feels off. Shani moved from elementary to high school teaching—and found her true calling. ✨ Protect Their Minds: Teen brains are still developing! Shani reminded us to create a safe space so they can grow and thrive. ❤️ Love What You Do: Your students will feel it. If you’re passionate, they’ll be too! Question for you: What pivotal moments or shifts have shaped your journey in education? Share your story below—we’d love to hear it! 👇 #Educators #CareerPivot #Inspiration #TeachngCommunity
