What is your position: Should a teacher inform his or her principals and assistant principals if he or she is merely inquiring about a position and has not yet set up an interview?

If it's to the point that you're sending an application to or having a conversation with a principal at another school, I probably would. Sometimes, a call goes to your old boss after the interview, but I've also known principals that will do it before even setting up an interview. Your current boss is likely to be way less forgiving if they get blindsided by your (potential) next boss.

I agree! They thought otherwise.

I would say no. Why tell them if it’s not a sure thing. You have the right to pursue other opportunities without informing your admin. I have been applying for teaching jobs, and have said nothing to my principal. However,I am turning in my letter of resignation the moment it looks like I may leave. I want my admin to be able to fill my position ASAP.

You would think that would be the case, but other principals emailed mine at the time asking about me if I even ASKED if there was a position available, and then I’d never hear from them again because they didn’t want to upset my principal.

When beginning a piece of literature, I first help the kids access the relevant culture. I have used web quests, but I have found that the kids researching their choice of topics and creating Slides containing information and pics results in more students participating.
