Every teacher has watched this process, as your peers begin to take the night school courses for their administrative credential. Sometimes we lose great teachers to become mediocre administrators, sometimes we just gain another poor administrator.

In addition, teacher training has nothing to do with administrative training. They are separate careers, why the crossover?
