Yeah, it's definitely stressful going into without knowing anything about the students or their ability level! I'm also worried about behavioral...
I think it more depends on the district. I'm in CA and haven't heard of them being particularly common here. None of my friends that got hired...
Thanks everyone. Having to make a decision to take a job anywhere is just stressing me out I guess! I'm scared to make the wrong decision and end...
They do, my problem is just I'm not sure if I want them! They called me TWICE tonight to tell me how excited they were and how I shouldn't take...
It is an established district though, and it was HR through the district that set up the interview. I didn't feel that the panel that interviewed...
I am definitely still interviewing. I'm just stressed out in case I don't get anything out of the two I have scheduled right now and have to...
Got an offer for this place contingent on reference checks and me teaching a demo lesson....anyone please give me advice, I have no idea what to...
The last question I was asked that I kind of tripped up on was "Describe how you work on a team and what you would do if you were on a team that...

True, and honestly them scheduling an interview without asking me and then not responding to my email pushes them further away from being my top...
I guess, even though they weirdly reposted the job on Friday. It's frustrating but I figure if I was one of their top choice candidates they'd...
Unfortunately I have a 4.5 hour a day commitment Monday-Thursday each week that is becoming a huge barrier to scheduling interviews... On...
That's good to hear! I definitely want to try something similar when I have my own class.
Will do! Just wondering, have you tried a classroom management plan with consequences similar to his? Warning, time out in the classroom, letter...
I like Michael Linsin's blog, "Smart Classroom Management" and just ordered one of his books!
I am getting interviews in the bay though. I just got two offers yesterday. I just haven't gotten hired out of it yet lol but hopefully soon
I get that. Teaching is way different than subbing, and it's virtually impossible to actually make a living off subbing alone anyways. I don't...
