This is a question for women in who were teachers and moved to administration roles: Did you find it difficult to move up into that role? My current principal said that he didn’t want to lose me because I’m “such a good teacher “ 🤡

Admin seemed like a natural progression for me, until...a kid told me that if she disappeared, no one would notice. I realized at that moment that the impact--the most positive impact that I had, was in the classroom. I would never have connected with that kid like I did without the classroom. As it was, no one from admin saw her the way I did. She would have disappeared, and no one, including me, would have noticed. I was able to get her services and back on track.

I think you might be overthinking what your principal said. Would you have reacted the same if your principal had been a woman and said the same? Granted, I don't know the time in which it was said, but when I retired from the traditional public school classroom teaching last year, my principal said she didn't want to lose me as a teacher - and she meant just that. Our campus has a high demand for damn good teachers, and I'll be the first to say that, yes, I think I was a damn good teacher. I often brought up the lowest scores, found those "invisible" kids, and made them enjoy school and made parents feel like they were welcome to be a part of their child's education. So, yes, I believed her when she said she was going to hate losing me as a teacher, so why wouldn't you feel the same way? Your principal should feel a certain way about losing a valuable asset to your campus. Now, could he have said congratulations, and I wish you luck? Also, yes, but I still stand by what I said.

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?
