In this compelling episode, Peter and Alli welcome special guests Michael Beyer and Nallely Suárez Gass, the authors of "Pencils Down." The hosts are genuinely excited about this discussion, given their own transitions out of the classroom. Their podcast has always sought the latest and most innovative voices in the realm of education and those disrupting traditional practices. The book "Pencils Down" garners well-deserved praise from Peter, who finds it to be an unreservedly authentic portrayal of teaching, pulling no punches in revealing the unfiltered truths about the profession. Michael shares his journey from a teacher and principal in Chicago Public Schools to a corporate career, while Nallely, a career coach, helps people find professional fulfillment. The conversation delves deep into the challenges faced by educators transitioning to new career paths, shedding light on their lingering teacher identities and the emotional complexities of leaving the education world behind.
