I am at the Big Ideas Fest, a progressive education conference in Half Moon Bay California.  It is such a creative environment here that last night as I finished preparing for the presentation I gave this morning, I created a visual map in my notebook of the career trajectory of a teacherpreneur.  Initially, I did this to help me understand it better, but it came out rather well and so I included it as a slide in my presentation. Some people were asking for it, so for now, here it is.

I will explain this whole concept in more detail later, and soon I’ll be able to link to the video of my presentation.  I have to get to my next session!  Enjoy, and feel free to comment or ask questions.
