  Case: Transfer
My school has an extremely high teacher turn-over rate, 20+ teachers leave at the end of EACH school year. This year I put in for a transfer due to the distance from my home and the school and I do not have the same teaching philosophy. During a meeting with my CST, I was asked if I have had any luck finding a school to transfer to. I feel as though that was a personal question. How do you respond to administrators asking about the status of an individual teacher's transfer?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Although this is a personal question, you made a professional decision to leave the school and the administrator has a right to know if you are leaving a vacant teaching position or not as he/she has a responsibility for the welfare and education of the students. No matter what you choose to say, it must be stated respectfully. Be aware that whomever you interview with will in all likelihood contact your current administrator about your work ethic, classroom management, and other factors before hiring. You must be professional in all aspects of your career or it may jeopardize your career in the future.

Comments: I agree that the administration has a right to know whether you are leaving or not. While it is personal and uncomfortable o talk about with them, it is still important for them to know.
