26. Writing Curriculum & Assessments with Mandy Flocchini

There are many of us that want to leave the classroom to pursue other careers, but we’re unsure about what’s out there and what we’ll enjoy. As teachers, we possess a variety of skills, which is why it’s helpful to dabble in a lot of different areas to see what you like. That’s exactly what my guest on today’s episode, Mandy Flocchini, did. She’s sharing how her various opportunities led her to curriculum and assessment writing.

When Mandy had thoughts of working beyond the classroom, she wanted to gain more experience in curriculum writing. Therefore, she took on a lot of different projects that showcased her skills, all while gaining the experience she needed to land higher quality jobs. She explains how her time as a teacher helped in her career now because she was already writing curriculum as a supplement to the textbook provided by her district. 

Throughout our conversation, Mandy gives advice for those seeking a career in curriculum and assessment writing, particularly in support groups, such as the Educator Forever community. Take time to dip your toes in a variety of projects that help you find your next career that you’ll love.
