Hello, everyone. Welcome to leaving the classroom. I'm Kristi Oliva, I'm so glad you are here. Today I'm talking about how to revise your resume to pursue a career in instructional design. You need a resume, I need a resume. We all need to have a resume to apply for the roles we want. Now when I decided to leave the classroom, revising my resume was one of the things I put off for as long as I possibly could. It was difficult. It was tedious. It was just not fun. I hadn't even looked at my resume for several years, then I didn't know how to not make my resume scream teacher. Finally I dusted it off and got to work. And it was hard. It took me...

Leaving the Classroom: A Transitioning Teacher Podcast
Struggling with Confidence
In this episode, I am addressing on of the top teacher concerns about transitioning to Instructional Design! "I’m really struggling with feeling confident in the project management side of things. I am nervous about not knowing how to properly interview SMEs, having no clue about how to set up a budget or project timeline, and even deciding whether a training is needed. Am I the only one?? I’m just terrified I’ll get a job and have zero clue what is going on."

Jeans Day: The Narcissistic Tendencies in Education Part 3
The catchphrases teachers often hear from administration and the district are actually just toxic positivity. These phrases and slogans fed to teachers demand that you ignore, suppress, or deny negative or critical emotions. This excessive upbeatness isn’t used to lift the spirits of the teachers, but as a tool of guilt and control.

Do it for the kids. The Narcissistic Tendencies in Education Part 1
Education is a narcissist. And teachers are the victims.
I started learning about narcissism about a year ago. Before then I thought narcissism was simply being full of yourself and arrogant.
But it turns out it runs much deeper and carries many more abusive tendencies than I ever imagined. And, these tendencies can be found right in our own public education system. And like the typical abusive narcissistic relationship, teachers often cannot see the abuse or the way out of it because they are so immersed in it.
So I am here today to expose these narcissistic traits of the education system and show teachers the abusive cycle they are stuck in.

Leaving the Classroom Episode 4: Top Transferable Teacher Skills
Leaving the Classroom: A Transitioning Teacher Podcast
Top Transferable Teacher Skills
Today I’m reviewing the skills that are directly transferable from teaching to instructional design. And there are a lot of them!
I am sure you have heard the saying, Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach.
This comes from a stage play in 1905 by George Bernard Shaw called Man and Superman. It is a terrible mindset that teaching is a place for those who can’t make it in “the real world”.
I heard this so often in the later years of high school and all throughout college as I prepared to become a teacher. It made me question my choice many times. And it is perpetuated over and over as teachers are continued to be portrayed as lesser than most other professional positions.
But the truth is, teachers are super prepared for so many other roles, especially instructional design.
