From Teaching to Curriculum Writing: A Journey Made Together

The right role at the right time for the right people.

Two former primary teachers, Emma and Victoria, share their inspiring journey of leaving the classroom together - though they'd never met before! After teaching for 12 years each, they both secured roles as primary curriculum writers for Developing Experts. 

Now they're enjoying creative freedom, collaborative culture, and the chance to use their teaching expertise in exciting new ways - building curricula from scratch, integrating real-world careers education, and finally having the time and headspace to problem-solve away from the high intensity of the classroom. 

In this episode, we also talk about:

• Feeling validated through connection
• The power of community for dealing with rejection
• Career change accountability and motivation
• Translating ‘teacher speak’
• Dealing with the scary bits of career change 
• Securing competitive roles 
• Enjoying a comfortable interview experience 
• Skills for curriculum design 
• Remote work and prioritising mental health
• Being in control of your own day
