This post isn’t what you think it is! ... probably. I’ve been a teacher (secondary ELA, in the US) for the last ten years. The last few years in our small, rural district, we have been struggling with our principal. I have been told a few times by different colleagues that “I wish you were our principal.” And I’m wondering... could administration be in my future? I love my job. I love the kids. And that’s literally why I wake up and go to work every day. I do not enjoy interacting with parents or adults. HOWEVER, I have reached a point of “no fucks given” and have found my voice as far as advocating for myself and what my fellow teachers need. I guess I am a reluctant leader. So, this leads me to my question. Administrators, how would you compare your work load to when you were teaching? Work/life balance? I have always toyed with the idea of stepping out of the classroom eventually, but mainly was thinking more about becoming a media specialist or GT coordinator. But that administrative paycheck $$$ would be nice, too. Plus, after a decade of dealing with incompetent people in administrative positions, my confidence is boosted that maybe just maybe I could do this. Thoughts? Advice? Sorry for the rambling format. I had a bit o Fireball for dinner.
