I'm thinking about doing something that may mean for me to go back to school and I'm not sure if that's really what I want to do. I "complain" about going to these specific meetings because I know that it takes me out of the classroom (away from my kids and teaching) and I'm thinking about applying for a job that will take me completely out of the classroom and into those meetings to do them consistantly. It's more of a paper job, but I wouldn't be totally away from the kids. I would be there for the kids making sure that their accommodations and modifications were taken care of. I don't know if I should of shouldn't do it.
I'm thinking about it. I'm not sure. I know that I would miss being in the class, but the thing is that I'm not totally prepared for this job. I don't have the certification that is needed. That doesn't mean that I can't go back to school and get it while doing the position. It just means that I would have to go back to school - take classes to become - I could become a principal. It would mean a pay increase, but I'm still debating with myself.
I guess that the only thing that's honestly stopping me from doing it is the mid-management certification. I'm going to talk with my principal soon... to see if he's even willing to think about it.
Hmmm.
