Moving Your Educational Career Forward Prevents Becoming Stagnant

by Candace Davies

Aug 22, 2011 Teaching 3344 Views

 As an educator or a member of the education field, continuous learning is important in order to avoid career stagnation. You need to have a solid career development goal in order to ensure that your career will go beyond the typical static experience in this particular work environment. That is why you always have to take advantage of opportunities that will allow you to proceed forward and maximize both your learning and career options. Taking additional courses, trainings, and professional development sessions are often the most practical options to prevent becoming stagnant in the field of education because these are the key steps toward achieving horizontal and or vertical movement in your career.

 

After completing your initial degree in education, it is vital for you to seek options in pursuing higher levels of education in the form of graduate studies and completing your doctorate. This is often the most viable way to reach your career objectives, especially if you are planning to eventually move from teaching into administration. Advanced degrees like these will certainly open up a lot of job opportunities, not to mention the expansion of your professional knowledge and personal experience surrounding practical and theoretical learning environments. The supplemental knowledge you gain from attaining these degrees can open up a lot of doors for your career enhancement not only in teaching but in other key areas of the education sector as well.

 

However, if you already have your advanced degree like a Master’s or a Doctorate, it is possible to obtain supplemental trainings that will augment your current advanced degree. Taking time to familiarize yourself with various technological advancements typically used in education can also help you improve your chances of securing key job positions in the field of education. Advanced courses like these are not only crucial to seeking job opportunities but they are also a vital part of improving one’s skill set and professional development.

 

A good way to move your career in education forward is to gain more teaching certifications or develop individual specializations like in Science, English, or other subjects you are interested in. the goal here is to have the capacity to handle more than just one class and a good chance to be promoted into administrative positions. Other important courses will include accounting or school management and you can take advantage of this if you are planning to pursue a position in school management.

 

To further prevent career stagnation, it is recommended for individuals working in the field of education to take part in self improvement seminars or workshops which will allow you to improve your leadership skills, communication, and the aptitude for conflict resolution. For those who are holding school management positions, it is a good way to diversify your skills in management or acquire the appropriate skills and knowledge for how to deal with parents, students, and your work colleagues. By taking steps toward your career advancement in the form of advanced education and training, you can be certain to prevent your career from becoming stagnant.
