TJ got a call this morning from a principal that used to be at his school but is taking another principal job at the middle school. This principal was a former teacher and is getting his masters in counseling- just like TJ. He told TJ that TJ should apply for the assistant principal job. TJ has been told many times that he would make an excellent principal, but he was never very interested in it. That is not the case now. The principal that called said that he does more counseling as a principal than as a muskgeon counselor (they just schedule classes and such). TJ is seriously thinking about it since so many people that he respects have told him that he should be a principal. One of his big questions that he is seeking an answer to as i write this is if he does get the job and decides he doesn't like it after a year, can he ever go back to teaching. The current head principal has made it a goal of his to get tj into ed leadership and administration. They definitely must see something.
We are thinking it would require the same amount of time - no paper correcting, lesson planning, nor experiment set up, but there are sporting events, parent meetings, and paper work. He would get a student specialist that is awesome at handling behavior problems. He would be in charge of ninth grade students. . . and teachers. Hummmm. . . . .
He hasn't touched his resume in seven years. And he would have to write an essay and of course interview. Crazy.
