Learn to be a day-care administrator, college president, school principal and more

Jobs should be plentiful in the future for educational administrators, as many people in these positions are expected to retire in the next ten years. Educational Administrators are important leaders, especially in a time where many schools face increasing public scrutiny and must meet national education standards.

Educational administrators can work in a variety of jobs, ranging from day-care administrator to college president to school principal. Educational administrators almost always have undergraduate and advanced degrees, and their range of responsibilities is diverse. These leaders must have good interpersonal skills and often are required to prepare budgets, oversee students' progress, manage everyday operations, fundraise, set policies and standards, and lead institutions in meeting state and national standards.

Principals of K-12 schools must receive state licenses, and the requirements vary by state. Several organizations, including the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC), provide national standards for teacher preparation.

Specific courses in educational administration degree programs include: administration/personnel supervision, ethics, public relations, public policy, and law and financial management.

The job market for educational administrators is projected to grow 23% from 2002 to 2012, according to the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook handbook. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that the average salary for a postsecondary education administrator is $75,800 and for all other education administrators is $66,580.
