Now, more than ever, students across our nation need passionate, dedicated teachers.</p><p>Sadly, the pressures of the pandemic over the past couple of years have caused many educators to lose their desire to teach. A recent February 2022 study by NEA showed that 55% of educators considered leaving the profession earlier than they had planned. And according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the nation had a net loss of 600,000 teachers between January 2020 and February 2022.</p><p>Across the country, schools are working hard to fill these shortages. The challenge is that the best teachers aren’t always close by. But the good news is that traveling can be a great way for teachers who are feeling burned out to rekindle their passion for teaching! It’s also ideal for new teachers who want to expand their horizons and learn from other educators across the nation.</p><h2>How Travel Teaching Works</h2><p>Travel teaching allows educators to explore new locations and reach students across the country. The way it works varies among agencies, but generally, <a href="https://www.crosscountry.com/education/travel-teacher" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">travel teachers</a>:</p><ul><li>Choose from private, district and charter school locations across the U.S.</li><li>Select from assignments that span from eight weeks to the entire school year</li><li>Potentially qualify for housing and meals stipends and technology and teaching materials</li><li>Receive reimbursement for licensing and credentialing</li></ul><h2>Benefits of Being a Travel Teacher</h2><p>Travel teachers can teach during the day and explore during the evenings and weekends. They can pursue adventurous hobbies like hiking, cycling, kayaking, surfing, swimming, all in beautiful locations – from mountains to beaches. They can check out restaurants, festivals, attractions and nightlife and get to know the atmosphere and culture of different cities across the U.S. Travel teaching is a wonderful way for educators to discover where they’d like to eventually settle down.
