Day 3

Building Your Roadmap

“It’s nerve-wracking to commit to a better life, and when I was in your shoes, I used obstacles like time and money as excuses to avoid that scary commitment. Later, when I had my a-ha moment and realized these excuses had kept me from earning an additional $75,000 over the previous few years, I had to force myself to pause and reflect on the excuses I was making. Were they really the obstacles I made them out to be?"

“In today’s video, we’ll cover the most common obstacles that stop teachers from committing to professional development and walk through solutions for getting around them.”

- Jen Cooper
Founder, CEO, and Teacher

"Outstanding resources for targeted skills related to instructional practice. Fast paced classes that serve to improve teacher capacity while offering credits for salary advancement and license renewal. Taking these courses is a smart choice for a career educator."
