Since you are only 2 years in, presumably the letters you have from applying to your first job are still valid. Around here, applications almost...
Well I'm not in AZ, but isn't this happening everywhere? It definitely is here. We've had a major decline in enrollment as have all of the other...
I'd either try to catch them in person, or send an email asking when a good time to chat is. You want to do it on the best terms possible if...
You should definitely contact them and see what the policy is. I'd do it ASAP so you're not thinking your eligible when in fact there may be...
I was in a unique position where I actually did get to choose. When teachers became eligible in my state, I signed up on all of the waiting lists...
It would definitely be better for them to solidly learn what you've taught rather than go for "exposure." If you just worry about "exposing" them...
In my home state, especially at the time I graduated, the teaching job market was INCREDIBLY saturated. Thousands of people were applying for each...
My mom spent her entire career in Christian schools (two of them over the course of her career). She's very religious so it was a good fit for...
There was a lot of pushback in my state and the governor ended up moving us up the list! I got my first dose in mid-Feb. and will get my second...

We're required to have emergency sub plans for this reason. But it's also reasonable to assume maybe someone started feeling poorly the day...
I have taken mental health days before. I never get sick (knock on wood) so I don't feel guilty about it because I'm not missing other days. It's...
I think in most cases it should be based on the time, not the number of students. If you're seeing both students for 30 minutes each, then it...
Either in person learning is "essential" or it isn't. If you're going to say teachers don't need vaccines because schools can be remote, fine,...
I hope that contactless delivery is a thing forever. I love having delivery dropped on my porch and I don't even have to see or talk to anyone! I...
It won't be soon for teachers here :(. My guess is summer at the absolute earliest.
Intervention positions are highly, highly sought after in my area. Lots of people are wanting out of the regular classroom. The last time we had...
I surprised myself with how much I enjoyed teaching online (this year, now that it's synchronous, and not the nonsense we were trying last...
