    Find support. There are lots of resources available online to support transitioning teachers. But the broad strokes would be 1) figure out what field and job title she might like, which can be done through informational interviews and reading about different fields other teachers have transitioned into; 2) network in that field, which will help her learn the language and also make connections; 3) do any needed upskilling; 4) craft a resume that is relentlessly focused on the target job title, reframing everything she has done as a teacher in the language of her target field.
