Education has been mimicking the opposite of the well-known trickle down theory. With the implementation of a strict teacher accountability law, the failure of teachers trickles up to weigh heavily on the shoulders of administrators. Schools are in desperate need of highly educated and qualified leaders to help form cohesive and well structured public educational institutions.
There are many reasons why administrators, on average, earn $30,000 to $40,000 more a year than teachers. In essence, public education is similar to private enterprise. The employee who has to understand exactly how their company needs to run and also takes initiative to change certain practices in order to move in a positive direction is a rare breed. Such is an effective administrator. Find out how to become an effective administrator by earning an advanced degree in administration or educational leadership.
