Those aspiring to develop their careers beyond classroom teaching will discover that their choices are somewhat limited. Aside from pursuing teaching options at different levels of education, serving as private consultants, or working in the private or for-profit school sectors, career advancement opportunities can be found primarily in school administration. Positions available generally include administrative support roles such as deans, coordinators, and program directors, or direct line positions such as department chairs, assistant principals, and principals. Because most career advancement opportunities for teachers are in administration, an important question is: What is the employment outlook for a career in school administration? Though the types of positions may be somewhat limited, the good news is that the current market for school administrators is one of the most promising in the past 30 years and is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. The Bureau of Labor Statistics ([BLS] 2005) projected that job openings in educational administration will be more numerous compared to all other jobs through 2014. Contributing to this growth, according to the National Center for Education Statistics (2005), is a projected 5 percent increase in elementary student enrollment by 2014. In addition to enrollment increases, an expected spike in administrative retirements will contribute to a positive employment outlook in school administration. Ironically, further enhancing employment prospects has been the sharp increase in administrative job responsibilities coupled with the highly visible accountability pressures related to No Child Left Behind. Without the substantial increase in compensation needed to entice some teachers into careers as school administrators, the candidate pool has decreased (BLS 2005). For aspiring school administrators, these factors have opened opportunities in this career field, making administration a real and viable option.
