Education Administrators, Elementary and Secondary School

An Education Administrator, often referred to as a Principal, is responsible for managing the day to day activities of a school, as well as supervising teachers and evaluate curriculum. The principle sets the academic goals and standards for a school, and creates policies and leads the school staff and faculty to accomplish those goals.

A Principal works with other educational administrators to ensure that their school meets local, state, and national standards of education. Principals also meet with parents and answer questions on policies and education. Principals set school budgets and are often in charge of fund raising efforts to improve the school.

An Education Administrator usually begins their career as a teacher. A master’s degree is also required for most positions, so be sure to look into the programs being offered in many locations and take the first steps to become a school Principal.
