  Case: Extra-curriculars or no extra-curriculars?
I've always been told that "once you're a coach, you're always a coach." In addition, principals love when newly hired faculty is willing to help coach or volunteer for a club. If you're asked this question in the interview, how would you respond? If a principal asks if you would be willing to sponsor clubs or coach, yet you think it's something you wouldn't want to do, would you tell them? How could you answer this question without saying a flat out "no?"
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would say something along the lines of "I'd love to help out, in time when I am comfortable in my position." This way you're not saying a complete no but you're leaving it open to interpretation and setting your boundaries.
