After I sent in my basic details and resume, I got to chat with a few principals from schools I was interested in. They asked a bunch of different things, from checking my subject matter expertise to seeing if I'd be up for leading after-school activities. Some of them weren't really open to my questions, which gave me a vibe.

I mentored students at Austin Elementary (K-5), helping them with academics, personal stuff, and motivation. I worked with teachers and parents to figure out what students needed and how to help them grow. I also strategized student growth with the school's stakeholders and gave updates on progress and improvement areas.
