Imposter syndrome being promoted to admin?
Hey everyone, hope that the end of summer is going well!
I have recently been allowed to take jobs as a vice principal in a large metropolitain school board. It's a bank of candidates so I have the choice to stay a teacher or take a VP contract. This is now my 8th year teaching and I have a lot of experience moving to different grades/subjects, schools and even provinces.
Recently, a former VP contacted me and told me to apply to this position near by, with a student population that I am very familiar with. Yet, I have been suddenly struck with lots of fear and imposter syndrome, which i haven't felt since beginning teaching 8 years ago.
Has anyone else made the switch to admin relatively young? How did you make it through feeling not good enough?
Thanks!
