14. Teaching ELA Online with Keena Melville of Keen Education

Life is a journey and each path you take leads you down a different road, which eventually leads you to right where you’re supposed to be. My guest on today’s episode, Keena Melville, is a prime example of this. The journey she’s taken to starting her own online teaching business, Keen Education, was a winding road. Keena shares her journey and how each experience impacted her business. After transferring to several different schools, Keena finally landed at a school that brought in different specialists to the classroom and lessons. That experience impacted the foundation for her future business: personalized instruction utilizing adapted novels. However, it wasn’t until Covid that she decided to take the leap to start her online teaching business, which although just beginning, is already thriving.Like every business owner, Keena has overcome obstacles and fear, but has seen more positives and a direct impact on her students. Establishing her online teaching business might not be where it is today, if it wasn’t for the different paths she took along her educational journey. For all links and resources mentioned in this episode, head to the show notes: https://www.educatorforever.com/episode14Watch our free on-demand workshop to learn more about flexible work opportunities beyond the classroom: https://www.educatorforever.com/workshopTake our free quiz to discover your next career step: https://www.educatorforever.com/quizFollow us on Instagram @educatorforever.
