Advancement Prospects
Opportunities for advancement vary by position. An instructor at a cooking school might advance to the position of cooking school director or start his or her own school. Middle and secondary school cooking instructors advance by receiving pay raises and additional duties. Some may become department heads or principals. Advancement for a skilled educator teaching classes at a community college or park district may mean a larger class load, higher pay, or additional teaching assignments dealing with different culinary specialties. They may also work toward a goal of someday teaching full time at a larger college or university.
