Hello everyone,

I have been in contact with the same principal for 2 years. He wanted to hire
me last year but there was not a position open for me. I am certified in social
studies 6-12, special education k-12, and middle grades integrated curriculum.
In addition, I am almost done with my MA in Educational Leadership. No, I did
not attend the event in DC but I have my own way of getting my information to
principals that has been very successful. Sorry, cannot give out secrets until
I have a job. The interview is set up for 10 tomorrow!!! Wish me luck!!!!
