Go for it! As a bilingual speaker of English and Spanish, I can say that you can be part of a group of educators who can reach kids who are not English proficient.

Go for it! Sounds like a good plan.

Also, there are many excellent Spanish immersion summer offerings, too! I don't know about your state, but many countries and colleges have had some that are better than year-long programs, imho Feel free to message me for ideas

If you’re comfortable dealing with angry parents who won’t shoulder any responsibility for their darlings’ behaviors, go for it. But most admin jobs, especially VPs, center around discipline and parent contact.

Admin is out for themselves. Never forget that.

If you can drink the kool aid long enough, you can retire earlier than a teacher, at leaset.
