My last day of teaching was a Friday. I started my new career the next Monday. This was me on that Monday, my first official day of work at PBIS Rewards. I was beyond excited to start my new career! 🤩 And then... My new work computer didn't show up until noon. 🤦🏻♀️ I finally got everything set up, and then... I couldn't figure out how to change my background for my first ever themed meeting. 😵💫 I was so afraid to look unprepared, say the wrong thing, not be busy enough, or not seem "impressive" right away. 🫤 But you know what? None of that mattered. No one was worried about any of that stuff except for me. 😊 You know what else? I was supported and encouraged at every turn. 🥰 I caught on fast. I grew my professional skills exponentially in just a few short months. 💪🏻 If you're a newly #transitionedteacher and you're about to start your new career or you just started it, please remember: You won't know all the things at first, and that's okay. Perfection isn't the goal, growth is. 🌱 Give yourself grace. You are NOT an imposter. You got this. 💚 #transitioningteachers #growthmindset #careerpivot #careertransition #formerteachers #educators #teachers #education #teacher #formerteacher 👇🏿👇🏻👇🏼👇🏽👇��👇🏿👇🏻👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿 Hi, I'm Lauren and I'm a #transitionedteacher turned Curriculum Developer.
