The purpose of this study was to ascertain the attitudes of teachers who are authorized as principals about the concept of "principal authorized teacher." The snowball sampling method was used to enroll 40 principal authorized teachers for the study. They were requested to create metaphors for the concept of "principal authorized teacher" in the provided form to determine their mental thoughts and demographic data. Due to missing information and illegible writing in the gathered data, only 32 participants' data were examined. The analysis revealed that the metaphors indicated by the principal authorized teachers were classified as overworked, competent, self-sacrificing, working beyond their job duties, and other conceptual categories, respectively. When the suggestions are examined, it is necessary to reduce the workload of the principal authorized teachers. Thus, the principal can do the work of authorized teachers more effectively.
