  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!)
I'm sure you were caught off guard by this situation, but I'm sure they were just curious. What is a CST? When I had intentions interviewing for a new position, I was responsible for letting my principal know. With 20+ new teachers to find each year, I understand why administration would want to be in the loop. I would just respond honestly, knowing leaving the school isn't personal. It's just what's best for me.
