The Edupreneur with Gretchen Schultek

On this episode, I hangout with Gretchen Schultek and we chat about her journey to becoming an edupreneur. 

Gretchen (Schultek) Bridgers is author of Always A Lesson. In German translation, Gretchen’s last name “Schultek” means ‘Teacher.’ It must have been fate that she is an educator today!

She was a general education teacher for 8 years. She has taught grades 2, 3, and 5 at both low and high performing elementary schools in Charlotte, North Carolina. She currently works for The New Teacher Project in multiple roles, but most often a Teacher Development Coach for first year teachers.

In 2006, she received her Bachelor’s degree at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York. In 2010, she received her Master’s degree in Curriculum and Supervision from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. In the fall of 2012, Gretchen received her National Board Certification as an Early Childhood Generalist.

In 2014, Gretchen published her first book for new teachers called “Elementary EDUC 101: What They Didn’t Teach You in College.” Click here to purchase at a discount or click here to purchase at full price. She is also currently writing a children’s book.
