[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't it easy to segue into education administration if you're a motivated teacher? I know some brain dead former teachers who clear $100,000 as principals of mediocre buildings. They were tracked for administration pretty early because they were principals by ~30yo.[/quote]

[b]Most of us who are good, really good teachers, would never ever want to be an administrator.  We're teachers because we choose to be.  [/b]For the most part, the people who move in to administration are those teachers who aren't good at teaching but they still want to contribute to and be a part of education.  That said my school's current principal and one ap both have reps as being outstanding teachers before their transition to administration.  We've had others, too, but they are few and far between.  Teaching and admin are different skill sets.[/quote]

+1. I show up because I love my work kids; I'd never be an admin because I have no interest in being out of the classroom. [/quote]
