Hence, yes, you can resign via email. But we suggest having an online meeting with your supervisor beforehand to give them a heads up.
Before officially sending your resignation letter, be sure to know the steps required by your contract. Some districts may require you to submit your letter to HR or the superintendent. Others might have the principal handle it. Regardless, teacher contracts usually have specific “rules” regarding resignation.
Statement of resignation: State your intention to resign from your role. Effective date: Specify the last day of your employment. Reason for resignation: You don't have to do this, but providing a brief explanation of why you want to resign can be helpful.
In most cases, you'll address your letter to the principal, superintendent, or school board. Often, you can hand your letter to your principal, and they'll take care of it. But if you're required to submit it to another location, like the county school board, you may decide you want to mail your letter.
Teachers are expected to give at least two weeks' notice before resigning, although more notice is appreciated. It's important to check your employment contract or union agreement for specific requirements. When resigning, provide a professional and polite resignation letter to the school administration.
Provide enough notice: Your employment contract or school policy will most likely require a notice period. The standard is often between 30 and 60 days but will vary from school to school. Prepare for the transition: Work with the school to ensure a smooth transition.
Whether you are considering another job offer in education or a different field, note that a contract is technically a legal obligation. Legal action could be taken by the district if you abandon your contract for another job. That is, unless the district has formally released you from the conditions of the contract.
