**A bit about you**:You are an experienced and credible school teacher or leader, who is looking for a change. You still feel passionate about education and making a difference for students.

You are a naturally skilled writer and communicator. You are confident when speaking in front of large groups, and get compliments for being convincing and interesting when presenting to other teachers and leaders. You have good ways of staying focused and prioritising what's important, even when there's a lot going on. You have an optimistic disposition and build relationships easily.
