leaving the classroom?

One thing about me...I’m going to go back to school lol. After many months of thought and debate, today I have decided to pursue my Principal Certification. Did I ever “see” myself as a principal? No, but this first year as an instructional coach (despite the grieving process) has inspired me to dive deep into the pool of doubt and challenge myself to move into a more administrative role.

Some of the doubt is rooted in my own fear of losing touch with the classroom experience and my identity as a teacher. Once I become an administrator, I will be the “them” to the “us”🥴 I could potentially become the person who’s having annoying meetings instead of sending a basic email...yikes lol.

This year is all about taking chances. I’m going to take the chance, apply to the program, and let God do His thing!
