Question 31 of 40

Why did you choose to pursue a career as a Preschool Director?

"I chose to pursue a career as a Preschool Director out of a desire to make a more significant impact on the improvement of public education. I was a highly involved and enthusiastic teacher for ten years before I landed my first director role. I had a desire to influence the industry and encourage less focus on traditional testing and begin incorporating learning and testing methods for learners of all kinds. As a preschool teacher, my direct impact was on my class of 20 students. Now, as a Preschool Director, I can make a positive impact on the entire student body, my faculty, and the families of our students. I look forward to delivering this same approach as your preschool's next director."
