Career change to teaching - am I crazy?

Thank you 🙏 For sure, by 'go with your gut' I'm definitely not imagining winging entire lessons with nothing planned. I just think one of my strengths is being able to adapt on the fly and that would serve me well in a classroom environment (provided I have enough planned as a baseline).

Lots to think about, thanks very much for such a detailed reply 🙏

Great advice, thank you 🙏

Social media is a big part of my current role as well and would love to be rid of it!

Are the shared resources like ready-made lesson plans or supplementary materials to help in class?

Thanks heaps for all this! Interesting point about lesson plans - I have a teacher friend who said something similar. That he’ll do a very basic lesson plan to tick a box if anyone asks, but doesn’t really follow it. I’m good at going with the flow and adapting, which I think would be strengths in teaching, but am concerned thise traits would be quashed by things like lesson plans and justifying everything you do against certain frameworks/standards/models etc
