As you can see by the previous post, the first characteristic
needed is to understand the impact that you can have on the
lives of children, their families, and your staff. Be focused
and determined when it comes to school climate and student
learning, and above all, be kind. Make sure that it is what you
want to do and that you have the time to do it well, 10-12 hour
days including at least one weekend day per week is the norm and
furlough days and decreased work year does not make any of the
work go away. Be in it for the kids and their learning, because
ultimately it's all about learning. It is very rewarding but
very difficult (and lonely) work....I wouldn't want to be doing
anything else (except teaching, of course!).
