What do Assistant Principals ACTUALLY do?! 

Thank you, Kyle! I’m glad it helped!

I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’m rooting for you to land that position!

I was considering switching to counseling. Do you wish you hadn’t made that switch? Did you love it?

@@englishwithaltini wow a lot has changed so I got my degree and passed the exam to become an AP but my district has another program afterwards to become AP and they didn’t pass me through that program. I was given the option to redo it in 4 months, but I was like naw I’m good lol! Took the LSAT, scored a relatively decent 158 and I start law school in the fall to become a lawyer lol! But back to your main question, I enjoy being a school counselor, but honestly if I had to do it again I probably would have gotten the master in social work (MSW) over the masters degree in school counseling for a variety of reason, to include but not limited too: mobility (more job options than just working in schools), higher paying job, versatility, ability to open a private practice after becoming an LCSW and the list goes on and on lol.

You’ve got this!! 🙌🏾

Unfortunately, this is a lot of teachers reality. Day by day I’m hoping to influence people to simply be + do better.

I appreciate the extra subscription, haha! I'm so glad you found this video helpful!

Congratulations, Schlunda! I'm so elated you found this video helpful! If it helps, I can create more videos explaining the intricate pieces to school leadership.

Thank you, Suzette!

they are evil....absolutely evil. Also, as a black dominican woman, many women of color who are assistant principals and principals have power ego trips, and want to use their sororities to bully others who are not in those same organizations. Come to south Ga, you will see this very commonly in the southern states school systems. Its absolutely disturbing.

As an educator, please do not get into admin without being in the classroom first. Those are the WORST ones and don't last.

Hi, Vanessa! Thanks for watching the video. My motto is to become the leader you desire to be... in other words "start before you're ready." If you have a desire to become an Assistant Principal: 1. Vet an awesome AP and make them your mentor. 2. Ask to shadow in leadership meetings. 3. Become comfortable with speaking to staff members and community members. 4. Ask to lead a meeting and/or develop a system. There are many things you can do to gain foundational skills of becoming an AP so that you are not blindsided by the role once landing the position. I also recommend subscribing to my newsletter as I'll be launching a course to tackle this.

Thanks so much - glad you found the video helpful! Absolutely, that should be an umbrella. I'll be creating an updated video to this one soon!

I actually have lots of tips. I’ll be sharing that video this weekend. Be on the lookout.

I’ll make a quick video detailing them.

What are some of the specific things they dump on you? Teacher here curious about counseling and the work of an AP
