Just to share
Happen to chance upon this thread while checking up info on adjunct teachers. All of a sudden, I felt lost over my career progression (but that is another long story altogether) and was researching on pay of adjunct teachers and jobs in other government sectors. :)
I guess I am an outlier. I have no honours and not a scholar. About 12 years in service. Was appointed a HOD in 2010 when I was 1A2 and is currently in SEO pay scale.
Just want to comment that to remain in service, you need to strike a balance between managing your boss and doing the best for the students. You need to sense your boss's preference and be able to communicate what you want without compromising the well-being of the students. (Of course, it is easy for me to say when I have been through only 2 VPs, 3 Ps and a few big-shots in MOE).
All the best to those who are applying to be a teacher. MOE has reached the threshold of 30,000 teachers and would be hiring to replace retired teachers and those who resigned.
If I am not bogged down with work, I may be able to answer questions related to the leadership track. Please lve your questions here and possibly an email address so that I can reply. I am not comfortable with leaving too many clues about the nature of my job here.
All the best, everyone!
