Why Did I Become a Teacher

Teachers enter the profession because they want to make a difference.

Along the way, something changes.

The workload increases. Expectations grow. Responsibilities expand. The profession they once loved begins to feel very different from the one they originally chose.

This book explores questions educators often ask themselves as they reflect on their careers and consider what comes next. They are not asking these questions because they have stopped caring about students or because they no longer believe in education. They are asking because they want greater clarity about their future.

Through reflection activities and practical insights, educator, leadership consultant, and preventive wellbeing specialist Marsha Kerr Talley invites readers to examine their experiences, recognise their strengths, and consider new possibilities.
