I signed my contract yesterday! I will be teaching Special Ed Resource at a BRAND NEW school about 10 minutes from home...and my daughter gets to enroll there. How cool is that? Prayer DOES work...Resouce could not be a better place to start for someone with no previous experience (career changer) and that is an Alternative Cert. candidate. I am SO EXCITED! And I have my own classroom to decorate! I just wanted to thank everyone that has helped me along the way and encouraged me! I want to tell all of you that are still looking....BE PERSISTENT! Email Principals...Call them...and email them again! Once your name is familiar...they will start talking.. On my second interview at the same district...they didn't even ask me any questions....so Principals do talk (and refer people)... I will be moving on to the Special Ed forum....Good luck to everyone...and have a great year!
Congrats teachme2! I'm moving to the same position although it is my 2nd year teaching! We have much in common, I'm a career changer too! Best of luck!
Congratulations! Congrats on your job! I am also a graduate of an alternative cert program in Texas and I took the content test in Special Ed. But, I'm still looking for a position. Where did you get hired? Alison
I got a job Hey Everyone I have not posted here before but I just wanted to say I got what I think will be my dream job teaching 9 and 10th grade theatre. I am so excited. God is soooo good.
CONGRATS!! Very exciting news. Have a great year! I am ACP Spec. Ed. too. Just finished my classes and passed my exam. I would like to start in Elementary resource too. I agree, believe and you will succeed
GOOD FOR YOU! Hi! I am brand new to the forums and I read about your new job! I was most encouraged by "prayer works!" I agree 100%! I have an interview on Monday for my DREAM JOB! Dream district anyway. I have been out of teaching, raising my babies, for 7 years. I am so GREEN to the field again! I am wondering if you might have any tips on the latest "buzz words" that is going around in teaching circles? I have been out of it so long I feel so unprepared! If you have any advice I'de sure appreciate it! Congrats again and God Bless!!
Thanks to everyone that wished me well...I really appreciate it...Good luck to all of you...Keep your head up...something will come along! And to those of you who landed a job.....keep in touch with your ideas and advice. I will need it!
