Our Story
Life After Teaching – Exit the Classroom and Thrive is a well established community on Facebook, launched in June 2020.
Sharon Cawley and Sarah Dunwood co-founded the group, creating a space where UK teachers and support staff can come to seek advice and support on a wide range of issues affecting them in the school environment.
Empowering educators to liberate themselves for a life outside of the classroom
Our intention is to give teachers and TAs the tools to see themselves through a whole new lens, building confidence to create a different life beyond the classroom
