[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Admin or head teachers still teach in many parts of the world. It keeps things real for them. [/quote]

Excellent point. I have a friend who teaches in Europe. Her school is run by a committee of master teachers. They all teach half schedules and share administrative duties. I’d love to see American systems transition to this model.

Many of the complaints (the excessive duties, sub coverage, mandated meetings, required paperwork) would probably lesson or disappear once administrators were held to the same expectations as teachers. As you said… it would keep things real for those in charge of schools. [/quote]

YUP! I am an experienced teacher and have decided not to pursue admin because I am worried I would lose touch with the classroom and that classroom teachers need experienced voices speaking for them.  If this were a model, I would definitely sign up.  I also would miss the kids if I were only admin, but the blend of classroom and administration would be perfect.  THIS is the way to fix our teacher shortage and working conditions.[/quote]
