In elementary schools. And not directly related to students like resource room.

Besides principle, assistant principal, and curriculum coordinator.

Thanks! I should have clarified why I was asking. I'm getting burned out from teaching and I'd like to use my degree in education in some way but my current school doesn't have many administrative roles. I'm curious if other places have more than the 3 I mentioned.

Lice checks. It's very lucrative, way more then teaching.

Kitchen staff in schools serving lunch; maintenance of buildings and grounds; curriculum development (whatever that means)...why do you ask? Is someone looking for a job in a school to get a break in tuition, but has a history of molestation and is not allowed to be in contact with kids? Or just doesn't like kids and doesn't want to be around them?

I feel like I wouldn't be able to get sipuk from that but it does sound interesting! How much do they make?

Why do you feel you have to be in a school? You can be a teaching mentor, author workbooks, give courses, etc..

My kids school has a student support director. She doesnt work with kids directly just ensures every kid gets the resources they need.

Tutoring is very lucrative and working one on one with kids might feel very different than managing a whole class

I never thought I'd make a career out of it, but I did! Following a maternity leave, I was looking for something less all consuming then main teacher, was thinking of LSA, shadow, classroom assistant or such. But there wasn't anything available, but my principal said, half in jest, that they're looking to implement a school-wide nit checking programme... I laughed it off at first, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that it was perfect for me, on so many levels!

1) They wanted a certain number of hours a week-think it was 10 at the time-but I could chose the hours, a real boon with young kids including a baby

2) I had to get thru the school within a certain time-frame, so if I had an appointment, or a kid was sick I could put the hours in, before or after, to suit.

3)Home when the kids are home. While this is true also for teachers, I don't bring work home with me.

4) I love being in a school setting, and whilst when teaching, you gotta discipline, this is pure enjoyment!

5) I'm very social, so I enjoy the contact with the kids, the mothers, the teachers etc. You've gotta be sensitive with this type of thing, but if enjoy that, it gives a lot of sipuk. Believe it or not, it's the teenagers who enjoy working with the most, they're a lot of fun when they let their hair down (pun intended!).

6) I networked, and when time allowed, I added more schools

7) Private work started coming in, think, busy Moms, Moms of many many girls who struggled to keep on top of it, Mom's who were away but wanted to keep the momentum up...

It pays well, especially if you take private work. I don't want to post my wage, but I earn 80% more then I was getting as a class teacher. Downside is, there's no holiday pay, but on the whole, I'm still better off.

My friend gives teacher training courses. She goes around to different schools and helps train their teachers. She also helps schools with their curriculum.

Really? You can make the same amount in one year as a teacher makes? Where are you located that there is such a demand?

Edit: you posted more info while I was typing this 🙂

They employed you for an entire year? How often do the kids get lice checked? Is this typical?
