If you're a teacher who keeps hearing that EdTech is a “natural next step” but you are not getting interviews or offers, this episode is for you.
In this episode, I break down what EdTech hiring managers are actually looking for when they hire transitioning teachers. Not what we assume they want. Not what career coaches vaguely suggest. What they are truly screening for when they read your resume, review your portfolio, and sit across from you in an interview.
We unpack how many teachers unintentionally block their own success by over explaining their classroom experience instead of positioning their transferable skills in a way EdTech understands.
When you listen to this episode, you’ll walk away with:
- A clear understanding of what EdTech hiring managers are actually evaluating when they interview transitioning teachers.
- Confidence in how to position your teaching experience as relevant, hireable skills instead of over explaining your classroom background.
- Clarity on what you still need to learn or prove so you can stop guessing and start showing up as a strong EdTech candidate.
This episode is not about motivation. It is about clarity. And clarity changes everything.
