Realizing that a workplace may not be the right fit can be a trying and even hurtful experience. The search for a place that fit my values involved a combination of reflective work with a career counselor and networking with others who were already in contexts that appealed to me. Once I knew what I was looking for, I was able to target my research as well as connect with those in my field who could support my job search, especially other progressive teachers and those attending job fairs for teachers of color.
