Education Careers
Salary ranges from $33,000 to $107,000 per year
Employment of education administrators is projected to grow
faster than the average for all occupations through 2012.
As education and training take on greater importance in everyone’s
lives, the need for people to administer education programs
will grow.
Job opportunities for many of these positions should also
be excellent because a large proportion of education administrators
are expected to retire over the next 10 years.

Job Description
Education Administrator
Education administrators provide instructional leadership
as well as manage the day-to-day activities in schools, preschools,
daycare centers, and colleges and universities. They also
direct the educational programs of businesses, correctional
institutions, museums, and job training and community service
organizations.
(College presidents and school superintendents are covered
in the Handbook statement on top executives.) Education administrators
set educational standards and goals and establish the policies
and procedures to carry them out.
They also supervise managers, support staff, teachers, counselors,
librarians, coaches, and others. They develop academic programs;
monitor students’ educational progress; train and motivate
teachers and other staff; manage guidance and other student
services; administer recordkeeping; prepare budgets; handle
relations with parents, prospective and current students,
employers, and the community; and perform many other duties.
In an organization such as a small daycare center, one administrator
may handle all these functions. In universities or large school
systems, responsibilities are divided among many administrators,
each with a specific function.
