Districts have huge piles of applications and there is no way
that they could interview everyone. In my area, principals
chose their teachers, not the district , and they can't hire
someone they don't know. Is there really an opening at the
school you are interested in? Then send your resume to the
principal and request an interview. But if they truly need
a bilingual teacher, that is legit. I don't believe in
bilingual education, but it is legal and mandatory- to the
point that some districts have to go out of the country to
hire. Attitude counts for a lot in an interview, so be sure
to project your most positive self and don't even mention the
hispanic thing ever - they will think you are prejudiced. You
might want to have someone proof read your application and
letters also. There ARE only two reasons. Contact those
principals and good luck! On 3/31/09, Adele wrote:
