Before you take this job, consider the following…The Tech TOSA

2

Your office becomes a closet.

3

Some principals will beless than welcoming…

4

Ditto with some teachers…

5

There might be equity issues…

6

You might hear the words…“But I use a Mac at hoooome!”

7

Or…“That’s not how my teenager does it!”

8

Or, “I don’t know what I’m doing wrong!”

9

Your after-school trainingsmight be less-than-appreciated…

10

And your before-school trainingseven less…

11

And of course, there willbe funding issues.

12

Don’t expect the ITdepartment to be on the same plain.

13

You might experiencea re-definition of“computer lab time”

14

But through it all,stay enthusiastic!
