LinkedIn can feel intimidating when you’re just beginning a career transition.

What should your profile say?

What if you don’t know what career you want yet?

Will your school know you’re looking?

And do you really need to start posting and networking with strangers?

In this episode of Beyond the Classroom, Lisa Harding breaks down why you don’t need to have LinkedIn—or your entire career transition—figured out before you start using it.

You’ll learn:

• Why LinkedIn is useful long before you start applying for jobs
• What to do if you don’t know your next career yet
• Why your profile does not need to be perfect
• How to start building connections without feeling awkward
• Why being a “LinkedIn lurker” can actually be a perfectly good first step
• How your LinkedIn profile can evolve as your career direction becomes clearer
• One simple action you can take this week to get started

• 
  

LinkedIn isn’t something you need to master overnight.

It’s a tool you can learn to use little by little throughout your entire career transition.

What if you still love teaching—you just don’t love the traditional classroom anymore?

In this episode of Beyond the Classroom, Lisa talks with Becky Wilmoth about a side of education many teachers may not realize exists: homeschool co-ops, hybrid programs, microschools, enrichment classes, and other flexible ways to keep working with students.

What began as Becky searching for a better option for her own children eventually grew into programs serving more than 300 students and a career helping others build innovative education programs of their own.

You’ll learn:

✨ How homeschool co-ops and hybrid programs actually work

✨ Where former classroom teachers fit into these programs

✨ Opportunities for art, PE, music, and other specialty teachers

✨ How teachers can begin offering services to homeschool families

✨ What to consider if you want to start a program of your own

If you love teaching but know the traditional school environment no longer fits, this conversation may open your eyes to possibilities you haven’t considered.
