Hi, We're the teacher transition team!

We help teachers like you find their next dream job!

We’ve been where you are in the classroom and we know how to get to where you want to be next.

We know what it’s like to be in the classroom and wanting something more. We also know how challenging it can be to identify what you want to do next and to land great opportunities to do that – while also managing your teacher workload.

But guess what, we know how to make that happen! Having done it ourselves and having helped other teachers do it, the Teacher Transition Team is here to walk you step-by-step from the classroom to your next dream job together.

You've got Questions? We've got Answers.

Nope. I didn’t have a degree in instructional design and you don’t need one either. BUT there are things you DO need to land a job in these roles and we’ll go over those things in this course and provide you with the tools and resources you need for that.
 

I’m glad you’d ask!! I learned this trade in one of the best settings out there that you can learn it in an instructional design agency! My teacher skills mixed with the real-world experience was a dynamite combo! I guest lecture at the university level teaching their grad students how to do Curriculum Development and Instructional Design. Their instructors have also requested resources I have for their grad school course content so that their masters-level students would be able to more effectively and efficiently do this kind of work and land jobs in these roles. I also direct a learning production agency where I work with and lead incredible instructional designers and curriculum developers and, yes, where I have hired them as well.

No problem at all! This course will let you know what the field is like and everything you need to get a job in it. You can apply whenever you’d like! It will simply help you be confident and fully prepared to take that next step whenever you would like to! And PS what you will learn will help you be a better teacher in the classroom as well.

If you want to do an online program, one of the least expensive and popular options is WGU’s program. Most students graduate within 4 semesters for $13,000. (Note: Some of the people in our course have graduated from WGU with that degree and then signed up for this course because even after graduating with a master’s in ID they had no idea what IDs actually do for work. But hey, they learned a lot about theory and assessment 😉). If you want to go to an on-site program, one that is well respected is Indiana’s. If you were to get accepted to theirs or another a really good program and attend on-site, your tuition plus life expenses would likely come to over $100,000. Yep, really. Want to see it for yourself? Here are the details from Indiana’s website: https://studentcentral.indiana.edu/pay-for-college/cost-of-iu/estimated-cost.html Pro-tip: Keep in mind that after getting a degree, you would then need to go to the work of landing a job. Or, you could save that time and money and we’ll get right to the end goal.

We have a 7-day no questions asked refund policy.

This varies depending on many things. Some course members have landed jobs in a month and a half after signing up. Others haven’t started applying until many months later. If you need a job sooner rather than later, I recommend a dual approach of taking the course while applying to jobs and adding the skills you gain through the course to your resume and portfolio as you learn them.

Complete the course as fast or slow as you’d like. Go at the pace that works best for you.

This course is about more than learning a tool or specific software. You will go through the process of creating learning resources that is used at companies. You will learn about the most relevant and in-demand skills and tools that companies look for when hiring. The course is not as focused on a specific software as much as it is focused on exposing you to the most important software to know, having you experience/go through the process that is used at companies to actually create learning resources with the software you select, and getting you prepared to confidently apply and land a job in the type of role you’d like at the type of company you’d like. The course is not as focused on a specific software as much as it is focused on exposing you to the most important software to know, having you experience/go through the process that is used at companies to actually create learning resources with the software you select, and getting you prepared to confidently apply and land a job in the type of role you’d like at the type of company you’d like.

This is one of the best reasons to sign up! We’ll be connected personally, you won’t have to “wonder” about what instructional design really is anymore, and you’ll see which job opportunities and work settings are opportunities where your personal strengths and skills can shine! There is such a variety of opportunities in the field and you’ll see the right match for your personal gifts and strengths! And I’ll be here to coach, encourage, and advise you all along the way! You’re not doing this alone!

Absolutely! We have course members who have never been teachers and they benefit from the course every bit as much as others. The fields they work in range from Human Resources to Training for large companies. Course enrollees also land jobs with a variety of companies, not solely education companies. The companies course enrollees now work for range from non-profits, to large corporate mechanical companies, to universities, and more. You will learn the spectrum of work opportunities that are out there in the field of Instructional Design so you can identify and hone in on the type of ID job you want. You’ll learn about and experience the process that is used in instructional design, along with the most important ID tools and resources you need to know. You’ll also receive the customizable templates for a resume, cover letter, and portfolio to effectively take your next steps into the actual ID workforce. The aspects of the course that relate to the education field and an education background simply give context to examples in the course and are not a limitation of the course to solely educators but rather more of an additional element. We love having course enrollees from different fields as they bring a variety of strengths with them from their different backgrounds and experiences! Trust me, you are welcomed and appreciated for the background and experiences you bring with you to the course!

Better question- Where haven’t they landed jobs? Course members have landed jobs at corporate companies like Spotify, universities like Texas A&M, education companies, ed-tech companies, contracting jobs from home, opportunities with companies in the US and outside of the US as well, and more.

Yes, you will receive a professional development certificate upon completion of the course.
