Career Changer Alumni Panel (Virtual)

Have you ever felt called to work with children, but your career took a different path?

Many professionals discover that the skills they’ve built in other fields—communication, leadership, project planning, problem-solving, and subject-matter expertise—translate naturally into today’s classrooms and school communities. At Bank Street Graduate School of Education, we’ve spent more than a century preparing educators through a progressive approach grounded in reflection, mentorship, and hands-on fieldwork.

Many of our students begin their journey after working in other professions. If you’re thinking about making the transition, we invite you to learn from those who have done it successfully.

At our Career Changer Alumni Panel, you’ll hear firsthand stories, insights, and practical advice from alumni who have made the shift into education.
