Re: I need advice on a non-renewal vs. resignation
Posted by Older & Wiser on 3/29/08
I would look at it from a purely financial perspective. If
they don't renew you, I believe you could claim
unemployment. If you need the $,this is probably the best
avenue.
On the other hand, if $ is not a factor, I would take the
resign route. At least psychologically, you have the upper
hand with that alternative.
Since you have 14 years in the education field, it would
probably be too difficult to transition to another career.
However, I have seen teachers take marketing positions with
textbook and year book companies.
Don't let this course of events get you down, the education
field is broken in my opinion. But that is a topic for
another thread.
