Hey ya’ll,
I just got hired for the teaching job at the charter school. They are hiring me as a substitute until I get all my credentials. I think they probably took one look at the waiver form and decided to skip all the red tape. :-)

Re: Teaching job
There is that, Victoria. Didnt’ really want to do anythign but my private practice. However, it really wasn’t working out.
I think this may. At least I am hopeful that they are serious about remediation and not just maintaining. Also were interested in catching reading problems early. All good signs, imo.

Re: Teaching job
Congrats des! Are you planning to continue tutoring? THis may give you more referrals in addition to a regular income. Good luck.

that is great
I hear you on the private practice stuff…sometimes it is more of a headache than it is worth… people come late, pick up late, don’t pay on time, don’t do homework that you create to help remediate…etc…
That is great about getting a job as a substitute…but hang in there to finish your credentials…as you want to get credit for retirement…and from my knowledge the years that you work as a substitute with an emergency credential do not count towards years of service or retirement…
Re: that is great
I plan to at least keep one of the clients I have.

The biggest headache is not coming in. Cancelling for various reasons.

I’m hired as a sub until I get my credentials. Once I get them they will offer me a contract as a regular teacher.
I didn’t ask any questions re: why the sub vs the contract, but I would guess that it is less red tape (had to laugh about them jumping rope on red tape :-)); they are sure to get me that way (I think that a waiver could be denied); and they are starting the school year very soon. I just
heard and it is Aug 9 (thankfully it is air conditioned). Recall way back when, I worked at a school with no ac. It was just horrible in September and this was in Mo.

Re: Teaching job
That’s great, des! Sounds like they really wanted you to find a way around the certification issue!

Congratulations !!!
I’m sitting here laughing because I have this image in my head of a bunch of administrators in the office taking turns skipping rope using a big piece of red tape.
