The problem with that is that most AD's at public schools have to do teacher evaluations, and without teaching experience, most schools would probably shy away from a person with no classroom experience.I don't agree and metrics say the past path is not the only way. That's why I'm doing this. Having a media centric feel for sports through the prism of academics should make me a quality candidate, particularly for a program that has the tax base but often struggles.
At the larger schools, PE/Health faculty evaluations are often conducted by a PE/Health Department Chairperson. This position and the Athletic Director are actually in different lanes in the school hierarchy - one interscholastic sports and the other academic.The problem with that is that most AD's at public schools have to do teacher evaluations, and without teaching experience, most schools would probably shy away from a person with no classroom experience.
Not in my area. A lot of schools in our area have gone to lead/head teachers to run the department to eliminate some of the admin positions so the AD's still do teacher evaluations.At the larger schools, PE/Health faculty evaluations are often conducted by a PE/Health Department Chairperson. This position and the Athletic Director are actually in different lanes in the school hierarchy - one interscholastic sports and the other academic.
Feel free to flood the phone lines on my behalf! LolSWSC will take you.
Bradley-Bourbonnais Community High School Athletic Director Dirk Campbell submitted his resignation Sunday night,

He is a great guy and good for the school.Bradley has promoted Assistant AD Mike Kohl to the AD position, per the Daily Journal. Kohl is retaining his Football Head Coaching position, but losing his P.E. teaching position in the move. Apparently they are looking to promote from within for the vacant asst. AD position.
Congrats Mike!

Interesting as the investigation is still ongoing related to the LWC athletic office funds. Does Homewood-Flossmoor have information they are not sharing?Word is next HF AD will be Matt Lyke (who is at HF now), who was unfortunately let go from LWC
Lyke was/is not under investigation. It happened under his watch, so was a fall guy in the aftermath of LW $. He is already an employee of HF.Interesting as the investigation is still ongoing related to the LWC athletic office funds. Does Homewood-Flossmoor have information they are not sharing?

Matt Lyke will do a great job!Word is next HF AD will be Matt Lyke (who is at HF now), who was unfortunately let go from LWC
File was sealed regarding LWC last I checked. SD161 and the Cookville plan have an upward battle to reach fruition as designed. What was it 30K to have enrollment forecasts made?I thought they charged the secretary and case was closing? Is it still under investigation?
In other news did you see this week that 161 cancelled half of the feasibility study having to do with purchasing LW North? Only keeping enrollment numbers. Appears that dream may be over.
So...what jobs remain open?Merry Christmas Bwm57. Let it go my friend. The district has moved on and you should as well. Seriously. The good news is the majority have.
I'm listening!Don’t know if a Catholic school would pay enough but heard BR needs an AD....
Some elements of truth are being revealed from the content in earlier posts to this thread. The Chicagoland suburban pubic high school AD position has a long-time reputation of existing within a "gated community" for the most part.Wheeling told me flat out they won't interview me because they only want to "interview individuals who have current athletic director experience."
Thought you should all know what I'm up against.

What's the situation there? Anyone know?Don’t know if a Catholic school would pay enough but heard BR needs an AD....
Sometimes schools have specific needs or ideas about what/who they are looking for. Do not take it personally. At least they did not waste your time or emotions offering an interview. Some situations require different perspectives. Maybe Wheeling is in a position where they feel an experienced person is the best fit. That doesn't mean you are up against anything. Finding a job isn't always as easy or simple as just putting your name in. Keep your head up and keep looking, or look for opportunities to be an assistant ad, or scheduler, or even assistant coach and offer to work other events to gain that experience.Some elements of truth are being revealed from the content in earlier posts to this thread.

I’d share if I knew more, but word on the street is there is an AD opening there. May want to inquire with the school or athletic office.What's the situation there? Anyone know?
It wasn't too long ago that your average small school (1A or 2A football) would have the main boys PE instructor be AD and head coach of at least one team. There probably still are a number of 1A football schools that only play 3 boys & 3 girls sports that operate like this.
Manteno, in the '80s, was like this...the Supt., HS & MS principals were the only administrators & the main boys PE teacher was the AD for the whole district and hoops HC, and baseball HC for a couple of years as well. But growth has resulted in now two vice principals at the high school and 2 at the middle school- one doubles as dean of students, the other doubles as AD.
Continuing education requirements for teachers, which requires basically that they get a masters, results in hordes of teachers at south suburban schools with masters from Governor's State with administrative credentials...These hordes make it easier to keep key coaches by promoting them to Vice-Principal, Dean of Students or AD...like Haines at Manteno or Reents at Wilmington.
FWIW: I have a pair of master's in Secondary Ed and Ed Leadership
Not that I know anything about this, but in IL most masters programs for education that are leadership based culminate with the person taking their Type 75 licensing test.But you need a type 75 license in most schools outside of CPS and Private schools. A lot of schools also use ADs as classroom evaluators.
This is much more common than you thinkthere will be some inevitable grumblings from teachers with Type 75s being passed over for someone with no teaching experience.
