10. Working Beyond the Classroom with Rozanne Rosenberg

On the podcast, I’m constantly talking about your marketable skills, jobs you can do outside of teaching, and guests who have started their own education businesses. However, some of you still might be thinking, but does that apply to me? Can I really do that? I’m here to tell you again, yes! Today’s episode, I have guest Rozane Rosenberg, who just like you, had some reservations about working beyond the classroom, but she went for it and is succeeding! 

Rozanne Rosenberg worked in the publishing industry for five years and then as an elementary educator for a decade. Feeling burned out and looking to leave the classroom but still stay in the education industry, she then found me and the Educator Forever community. Being part of Educator Forever has been truly life-changing for her. Rozanne now works as an Assistant Director of Communications for an independent school in New York and as a freelancer for various companies.

Working in several different careers, Rozanne shares her path to becoming a freelancer who works on a variety of projects from curriculum designer, editor, writer, and content creator. Rozanne was apprehensive about working beyond the classroom, but after taking Educator Forever courses, it gave her the confidence to follow a new career path, which she believes was well worth it! 

Acknowledging that it can be challenging starting out, Rozanne does promise that the flexibility, variety in projects, and new work environment makes working beyond the classroom the perfect fit for educators wanting a new career. For those still doubting if you should take the leap, we’re here to tell you to do it, for you won’t regret it!
