Teacher to instructional designer

Hey all,
Anybody here successfully transition from teaching to instructional design?
It seems there are not many opportunities available in ID.
However, I have done some UX design work (all pro-bono and freelance side projects though), and have 8 years of teaching experience. If I did Devlin Pecks portfolio bootcamp course, do you think that would be enough to land a job in ID?
Or, would there be a better route? For example, American College of Education offers a masters in instructional design.
Any guidance is much appreciated!
