Classroom to Boardroom 101: Working for a School District vs. an Education Company

Do you find yourself wanting more out of your career? Do you feel your only next step is to go back to school and become a principal, but being a principal of a school doesn't seem like the right fit for you? Maybe you are looking to learn a new skill or simply don't feel challenged in the classroom any longer or maybe you want a higher earning potential. 

You are not alone. We are consistently contacted by educators who would like to transition out of working for a school system and want to learn more about the opportunities that exist at education companies. From curriculum writing to sales and customer success, working for an education company may be just what you are looking for in the next phase of your career. 

We developed Classroom to Boardroom 101 to answer the questions we hear (over and over again) about the difference between working for a school district vs working for an education company.

In this 45-minute webinar, you will learn:

  • The organizational structure of an education company vs the organizational structure of a school system
  • The three different types of education companies
  • The culture and work-life balance of working at a start-up vs an established company
  • How the sales cycle of an education company drives the jobs and work culture

This webinar is meant to be an introductory session to help you make important decisions of 1) whether or not making a transition out of the classroom is right for you and 2) the type of company that might be the best fit your skills and personality.
