The Teacher's Guide to Successful Job Transfers and Promotions



July 2005 | 128 pages | Corwin
This is a how-to resource for experienced teachers who want to transfer to another level or subject area or who are seeking promotion to curriculum coordinator or deputy head. By Joanne Wachter, author of Corwin's best-selling Time-Saving Tips for Teachers, this new guide leads readers, step-by-step, through the process of setting their goals, preparing their applications, strengthening their CVs, and rehearsing for their interviews, with all necessary checklists, sample forms, and sample letters provided.

The author's approach to coaching teachers seeking job transfers and promotions was developed during her years as a public school system supervisor with responsibility for hiring teachers (both beginning and experienced), transferring teachers, and placing teachers in specialist and assistant principal spots. She has used the ideas and strategies in this book during one-on-one counselling with hundreds of teachers and is now ready to share her successful approach with other educators.
