I would really like to become a principal, instructional
coach, or a director of instruction. I know I obviously
need to go back and get my Master's. I'm just not sure
though how I will be able to do my Master's and work full
time. It seems so overwhelming.
I was thinking maybe taking a year or two off to work on my
degree. Financially I would be able to do it, but I'm
wondering if this is a good career move. I have 3 years of
teaching under my belt after this year. I worry that
schools won't hire me as a principal with only 3 years
experience and/or want to hire me for teaching again after
I left and returned with a principal license-I'm thinking
that would be a red flag that I'm career climbing and won't
be there for long.
Any advice on what to do?
