I have contemplated becoming a principal for awhile. I love teaching!! I was thinking of a ten year plan. I am almost 40 and thought by 50 I would start getting a certificate and look for jobs.
This was before I was forced to switch grade levels. I was teaching kindergarten and loved it. It was my dream

position. Last year I was placed in 3rd, and did not really like it. I tried to like it, but it was not as fulfilling to me as K and my work situation just took a turn for the worse.
All of these things have forced me to decided to move up my plan to persue a job as a principal.
In my state because I have a master's degree I can just get a administrator certificate. I could also get an ed specialist degree. In the future I would like to work as a curriculum director as well.
My question is which should I persue? Just a certificate or EDs?
