Re: Situation in China

Hong Kong just closed schools until March 2. My school/province is closed until February 17 as of right now with online lessons taking place. I am concerned about the long term effect of the closures (and of the .). Will the closures persist into March? Will we all still be paid? Will the school year be extended?

Re: Move to admin?

Thanks for the replies so far! Lots to consider.

@shadowjack How does the overall stress level/work-life balance as an admin compare to when you were a teacher?

@Thames Pirate Do you think it would affect my future recruiting prospects if I moved to one of those positions and then moved back to the classroom? Would it look like I am not competent enough for the increased responsibility or like I am not committed to my subject area?

And for anyone else who will chime in: how many years of classroom teaching experience should someone have before becoming an assistant principal or principal?

Move to admin?

I am interested in the thoughts of teachers who have made the move to leadership (junior or senior admin), or are currently trying to move into leadership. What made you want to become an admin? What are the pros/cons being in an admin role? I realise there is usually a pay increase, but moving up a tier or to a new location can bring a nice pay increase as well.
