I was already teaching for more than six years as a senior teacher at a secondary school at the suburb of San Diego when I decided I wanted to have a higher position in school administration such as being a vice-principal or even a school principal someday. I knew that the primary education prerequisite for a higher school administration position is to have master's or a doctorate degree. Then, I heard about the academic programme of education management or educational management and the courses related to it.
I learned that educational management is an academic and training programme of educating teachers, lecturers, and other educators on working in administration or management positions in educational or learning institutions. So I decide that taking a master's degree in education management is the best educational path in my plans of obtaining career advancement by becoming a school vice-principal or principal, or in a higher administrative or management position in a government agency involved in education.
The two educational options available for me is obtaining my master's degree a college or university campus or getting an online master's degree from an online school. Since I could not give up my present work as a secondary school teacher and lose a source of income, I decided to take up a master's degree in education management from an online university that provided academic degree programmes that are accredited and recognised by an authorised accreditation body. The primary benefit of taking my online degree is that I owned a desktop computer at home and a laptop computer so that I would be able to take my online classes either at home or at work when I have the free time. Moreover, my online course in educational management enabled me to have a flexible class schedule so that I could divide my time between my teaching job and my online classes.
