How To!: Quit Your Calling

Amy and Sarah are high school English teachers who both want to
quit the classroom, but for very different reasons. Amy has over
200 students, and tensions between teachers and parents are on the
rise so she’s “beyond burned out.” Whereas Sarah has been teaching
for over a decade and is itching for a change. On this episode of
How To!, the second in a two-part series, co-host Amanda Ripley is
joined by Daphne Gomez, a former teacher who’s now CEO of Teacher
Career Coach. (She also hosts the Teacher Career Coach podcast.)
Daphne has some wonderful advice for Sarah and Amy—and anyone else
who has no choice but to leave a job they once loved. If you liked
