8. 10 Marketable Teacher Skills

For those of you thinking about finding a career outside of education or teaching, this episode is for you! A common fear about leaving the classroom is that you don’t have the right skills or experience to excel in a different career. However, I’m here to tell you that’s absolutely false. Teachers have many valuable skills, so I’m highlighting 10 marketable teacher skills that make you an asset outside of the classroom. 

As teachers, we do copious amounts of things per day. However, we tend to not think of them as marketable teacher skills. In reality, they’re very valuable in helping to explore further opportunities. Those skills include:

1. Multitasking
2. Efficiency
3. Problem solving 
4. Detail oriented
5. Interpersonal
6. Innovation
7. Adaptability
8. Written skills
9. Research skills
10. Enthusiasm

While not all teachers have the same skills, we all develop certain skills along the way. If considering a career outside of the classroom, determine your marketable teacher skills and how they can be utilized for specific roles and other career opportunities.
