Episode Summary
Are you a TPT seller who often considers going back to the classroom? If so, then today’s guest episode is for you! I’m joined by Marcy Bernethy, the face behind Saddle Up for Second Grade.
Marcy started her TPT store 12 years ago and has been working on her business full-time from home since 2018. Then, in 2023, she made the quick and unexpected decision to go back to the classroom to teach second grade.
Inside this episode, Marcy shares all the details about why she decided to go back to the classroom, how she fits in TPT work time while teaching, what it’s been like to return to the classroom, and more. It really is possible to have a business and teach, so we hope this conversation encourages you if going back to the classroom is on your heart!
