From Educator to Edu-Preneur

It’s no secret that educators are underpaid and overworked. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (March 30, 2022),  more than half of all K-12 teachers in the United States earn income from sources other than their base teaching salary. Why not turn those skills as an educator or school leader into an education-based business? Educators have so many transferrable skills that transforming from educator to edu-preneur is easier than you think.
