Surprise! You've just been laid off from the teaching position in which you have so passionately invested your time, talents and heart for years! What now? Hundreds of thousands of American teachers have been laid off in the last four years as a result of the long term recession that continues to challenge the country's economy. In this book, one of those teachers shares what that experience was like for her, how she coped with unexpected unemployment, and what she learned about finding her way as a teacher without a classroom. Full of not only truthful reflection and encouragement for teachers facing similar situations, this book also offers practical tips for how to handle lay-off and unemployment, and how to prepare yourself as an education professional to expand your career outside your classroom. These are uncertain times, but teachers don't need to feel uncertain about their careers. There IS life as an education professional after lay-off!
