Questions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.
Should You Be the Boss? Soul-searching questions for teachers considering administration.
As a teacher, you manage the needs of 20 or more students at one time. Try handling 200, even 20,000 children—along with their teachers, parents, principals, and school boards. If that situation excites you, you may have what it takes to be a school
administrator. In fact, 98 percent of all school administrators come from the teaching ranks, says Emil J. Haller, professor of educational administration at Cornell University.
Opportunities are there. Most districts have a variety of
administrators, from assistant principal to director of curriculum to superintendent (负责人), the person who manages all of the schools in a district.
What is it like to give up the direct daily contact with children for a broader role in administration? Instructors spoke with teachers-turned-administrators to find out what teachers should ask themselves before pursuing a position in the ranks of administration.
Do you have a passion for education? A desire to spread your vision?
\"I had a certain conviction about the learning environment for kids,\" says Georgene Mais, director of elementary instruction in the
21,000-student Birdville school district, outside Fort Worth, Texas. She felt driven, she says, \"to create that learning environment\" for an entire campus and to be a positive influence \"within the whole community.\" That kind of drive motivates some teachers to leave the daily triumph of seeing that light of understanding flash in a child's eyes. Others see administration simply as a different kind of teaching.
Nancy Villarreal, an assistant superintendent in the Newark school district, with 7,800 students, in the San Francisco Bay area,
believes administration is the ultimate teaching experience. \"What I do gives me additional opportunities to work with adults in a
broader perspective,\" she says. \"I've begun to look on all of us as learners. Some of us are adult learners; some are student learners.\"
As a principal you in effect keep teaching—teaching teachers. Paul Scwartz, principal in residence for the US Department of
Education, says the job has been changing. \"I think people are beginning to rethink the image of the principalship,\" he says. \"It's becoming less a job for managers or administrators and much more involved with accountability, with issues of teaching and learning.\"
Sometimes educators are motivated by \"a desire for change,\" a desire for a new challenge, as in the case of Karen Beckers, who changed jobs several times in her career in the 2,200-student
school district of Greenfield, Wisconsin. She entered administration as an elementary curriculum coordinator. When the position was eliminated due to declining enrollment, she returned to the classroom. \"Those next years were probably the best of my career,\" she says, because she had a deeper understanding of curriculum design. Five years later, though she was \"still having a good time teaching,\" she returned to administration. In 1997 she retired after 33 years as an educator—the last eight as principal. If you feel you should begin work in administration, you must be prepared for major changes, like moving. Dennis Smith, Ph.D., now superintendent of the Orange County public school district in Florida, knew that he wanted to be a principal when he began
teaching in Phoenix, Arizona. After five years he became assistant principal there. A year later, at age 27, he landed his first
principalship in Tucson. Next he was assistant superintendent and then took over as superintendent a year later, at age 34, in Laguna Beach, California. As superintendent, he moved from three different districts in California to his present post in Florida. His career progression went smoothly not only because he was willing and able to move but also because his spouse, a teacher, was willing and able to move with him.
Will you work more days and longer hours?
Although administrative positions may pay more than teaching salaries, they often require more hours on the job. Principals, for instance, work an average of 220 days a year, whereas teachers are more likely to work 180 to 185 days. In addition to school gatherings and site visits to classrooms, administrators must
attend after-hours events—school board meetings and ceremonial
functions.
Often administrative positions require postgraduate degrees,
though specific requirements vary from state to state and district to district. Most principals have master's degrees, and many
superintendents have PhDs. You may also have to brush up in other areas. For instance, former principal Beckers notes, \"Many teachers who become principals have to learn a great deal about special education, and it's extremely enriching.\" Are you a very organized problem solver?
Administrative positions often involve doing a lot of paperwork, such as budget reports and staff evaluations—even more than that required of teachers. You'll need to make priorities and coordinate the diverse tasks in your new workload, along with those of your staff. Expect constantly to shift roles, from troubleshooter (调解人) to long-range planner to diplomat. Beckers warns, \"If you're not a list maker or a time keeper, you'll have some problems.\" Principals find that if they are not careful, special events can take away from the time they need to work with teachers. Are you a team builder and a leader?
Administrators are facilitators and consensus builders, but they must also give strong direction and leadership. The position of curriculum developer requires working in teams and reporting to the central office. While following the direction of your superiors, you will also want to provide teachers with a curriculum that excites them. It's a balancing act. Dennis Smith notes that, as
superintendent, he tries \"to provide a clear direction for an entire school district and community.\" Sometimes building the consensus means putting aside your own ideas. One of his biggest
challenges, Smith says, was working with board members who fought among themselves. Career Options
