Default

For the folks with a 2/3-year posting, the default path is indeed to be posted back to school after the stint.

Exceptions I've noticed:
1) Switching to specialist track (pretty much committing to stay on in HQ forever; need to pass an interview)
2) Extending on year-by-year basis (max stint I've seen is 5 years, though - in your case I doubt it's an option)
3) Changing of appointment (e.g. taking up role as a Assistant Director)

Yeah... losing touch with the classroom is definitely a concern. I didn't think it'd be a problem at the start; but nearly 3 years on I'm somewhat concerned about adjusting back to life in school. I'm sure it's doable, but can imagine it taking some getting used to again...
