“Choose Your Own Path”:
safasdf
If you’ve ever sat at your desk thinking your principal or department head would map out your entire career for you, you might be in for a long wait. Many wonderful school leaders exist, but here’s an insider secret: your career is your own responsibility, not your boss’s. Today kicks off our 9-part series, “Choose Your Own Path,” devoted to practical steps you can take to elevate your professional journey. In this first installment, we’ll focus on how educators can stop relying on external forces—like bosses or administrators—to steer their careers, and instead learn to chart their own course.
The Myth of “Career Fairy Godmothers”
Maria, a high school teacher who loved
her subject but felt stuck, believed her principal would eventually notice her
talents and hand her new responsibilities. When that didn’t happen, her
frustration mounted. The truth is, school leaders juggle dozens of tasks daily.
While many want to support teachers, they can’t always anticipate individual
ambitions. This is where personal accountability steps in.
A 2021
survey in the Journal of Teacher
Education reported that over 65% of
teachers felt they had to proactively request professional development to
advance their skill sets (Smith 45–60). In other words, waiting around for your
supervisor to “discover” you might keep you in neutral. Think of it like being
in a car: you have the engine, but you must press the pedal to move forward.
