QUESTION 16 OF 29

How long were you a teacher before transitioning into an Instructional Coordinator?

Be direct and explain why you chose to branch off into the Instructional Coordinator role. Explain why it is a better fit for you than teaching was. Adjust your answer to suit the values and needs of the organization.

"I was a teacher for 5 years. I left teaching to be an Instructional Coordinator as soon as I could because I really wanted to affect the broader educational system. Teaching kids is wonderfully impactful, but I could only impact 30 kids a year. I wanted to make a greater impact on the entire district, and I see this opportunity as a chance to do that."
