Hi, I'm a native of Colorado and have been non-renewed four
times now. The particular subject, which I teach, is very
political. I'm going to be 51 years old, this July. I'm
very wary that in this economy, my beloved Colorado's at
will status, and the fact I've been non-renewed four times,
that I will no longer be employable. I've had excellent
reviews, and letters of recommendation. My MA and years
spent teaching (15), also add to the difficulty of getting
hired. I earned my masters, several years ago, while
teaching out of state, because I was informed by 3
different school districts that I'd be more attractive to
schools looking to hire. Now, it feels as though it was a
big mistake.
What Can I Do? I love what I teach and I'm good at it.
I'm also highly qualified.
