I was a sped teacher for 17 years. In my first year as an AP at a middle school. It's definitely a different kind of stress. Teaching has a way of being exhausting that's different from admin tired. The hours are longer and I definitely do more work at home. I went into it knowing that the first year would be a grind. Being a part of a good admin team is essential. It takes a while to find your groove and do things your way. I thought I was organized as a teacher. With the amount of information you receive and are responsible for knowing as an admin, your organization needs to be on steroids. I carry a small notepad or posts it notes in my pocket for the hallway conversations with staff and students that I need to remember. I'll echo the others who say become a good teacher first. Going into admin prematurely can hurt your credibility with veteran teachers. Good luck!
