41. How to Find the Right Community Beyond the Classroom

Although there are a lot of deep systemic issues within the education system, one thing it does have is a sense of teacher community. You’re surrounded by individuals who all have the same career, passion for helping kids, and lifelong learners. However, when stepping away from the classroom to pursue other endeavors, finding a community that you belong to becomes increasingly more difficult. In order to help you find your teacher community, I’m sharing four things to look for in your next community. Each of these items ensure that you feel heard, successful, and continue growing in your skills. But if you’re looking for a new teacher community, I encourage you to join The Educator Forever Network where we support individuals starting a new career or chapter in their life.
