Transferring your Teaching Skills into the Wider World will help you focus on how you can use your many transferable skills in a variety of contexts and settings across the educational sector and beyond. Deborah Lewis and Hilary White identify the skills developed through a teaching career and match them with the wide range of jobs open to teachers looking for a new direction. This highly practical handbook:

• Surveys a wide variety of education related jobs and training options, using case studies to explore their advantages and disadvantages
• Explores the opportunities open to teachers seeking a complete career change

Tips and hints show how you can follow a similar path. Transferring your Teaching Skills into the Wider World is essential reading for any teacher looking for guidance on how to change or develop their career whilst making the most of their existing skills and experience.
