Hello,
I am a newcomer to this website and am considering doing an MBA. I'm 29 and have a BA (hons), a B.ed, and an MA (history) all from University of Toronto. I'm a permanent teacher in Toronto for a public board and have 5+ years teaching experience.
Last year I came down with and beat leukemia. As a result, I'm looking to transition into something "more" than teaching, but still within education. What types of careers could doing an MBA open up for me so that I can achieve this goal?
Thanks for your input!

Glad to hear you are healthy now. I would take a look at employers like the Broad Residency and Education Pioneers for strong examples of education related firms that target MBAs. I also know MBAs also go into roles in leadership roles in charter schools and school district management

There's tons of options within Education outside of teaching. Your path could be dependent on which students you want to reach and/or what type of venue you want to be in (something more corporate, on the ground teaching, or online).
As Dozie mentioned, you could go on the leadership side of a school -- creating your own charter school or working within academics in some other leadership capacity (e.g., superintendent). You could go into a administrative role within TFA, KIPP, Match, and the like helping them recruit and retain, open locations, etc. There are also education-specific consulting firms like an Ed Pioneers, and there are also a lot of new startups in the education space -- like a Chegg on the textbook side or EdX, Udacity, or the likes of a General Assembly in terms of online education.
