On today’s show, I’m chatting with Daphne Gomez, The Teacher Career Coach. Daphne is a former 5th-grade teacher turned educational consultant and she empowers teachers to think of themselves outside of the teaching box. She helps teachers realize just how much they have to offer in any setting. In our conversation today, we explore what it means to work in a toxic environment, why teachers tolerate poor working conditions, and the next best steps you can take if you’re an educator looking to transition whether it’s to a new school, a new district, or a new career path altogether.
