National Teachers’ Resignation Day

Introduction
Today marks National Teachers’ Resignation Day in the UK, a crucial deadline for educators looking to transition into new roles by the next school term. As teachers across the country submit their notice, many find themselves at a crossroads—seeking alternative opportunities within or beyond the education sector. Whether you’re considering supply teaching, moving into EdTech, or transitioning to a new career, MyTalentCRM is here to help you navigate your next steps.

Understanding the Teachers’ Resignation Cycle
In the UK, teachers have specific resignation deadlines set by the Burgundy Book, ensuring schools have enough time to manage staffing changes. The key dates are:

• 28th/29th February for leaving by 30th April (Spring term)
• 31st May for leaving by 31st August (Summer term)
• 31st October for leaving by 31st December (Autumn term)

For those resigning today, the decision often comes after careful reflection on workload, career growth, and work-life balance.

What’s Next After Resigning?
If you’ve handed in your notice, you may be wondering what your next move should be. Here are some paths to consider:

1. Supply Teaching – A flexible option that allows you to maintain a teaching career without the long-term commitments of a full-time position. Schools often rely on supply teachers to fill gaps left by resignations.
2. Education Consulting & EdTech – If you have a passion for curriculum design, teacher training, or technology in education, transitioning into the EdTech industry or consulting could be an exciting next step.
3. Moving Into Corporate Roles – Many teachers bring valuable transferable skills, such as communication, leadership, and problem-solving, which are highly sought after in HR, training, and content development roles.
4. Further Studies & Career Shifts – Some educators use this opportunity to upskill or transition into an entirely new field. Coaching, tutoring, and educational content creation are popular alternatives.
