I hope that you find what you are looking for. It is tough when deep down in your soul you KNOW that you are a teacher and yet you're not given the chance to prove yourself. We both know that you are a superb educator and any school would benefit from having you on staff full time. As it is, I know how you feel. I went through the same thing four years ago when I was still with the first district that I taught with. They gave me ONE contact position and then relegated me to subbing for one and a half years. I watched other teachers who were less qualified than myself hired into positions just because they were related to people in the district. Finally I just had enough and applied to another district (the one I'm with now) and was hired on IMMEDIATELY into a contracted teaching position. I was one of the lucky ones I guess, as I didn't have to sub and I'm now tenured. Have faith - something will come up. You have so many skills that people are looking for out in the employment world, be it in the education field or not. Maybe you are meant to work in something related to education, just not in a school, perhaps in a group home or something like that? Just a thought. Follow your heart, as it will lead you to where you are supposed to be. country hicks.
