Tanya: Thanks for your response. We are trying to stay
optimistic. It is difficult, he is in a new state and appying in
new areas.
He has applied for all Elementary ed teaching positions within
45 min-1 hour of Pelham NY in CT. In March he interviewed with 4
different area school superintentdents (1 NY 3 CT), He had one
call for a 6th grade position but no follow-up and no additional
interviews. Is there a recommended site to apply for positions?
Is CTREAP a good site? I saw some closing dates as late as July
15. Any advice for a new graduate applying? He is great with
kids and since he just graduated with his BA he passed all the
current tests (PRAXIS etc) Do you mind saying where you teach?
If so I understand. All this information is appreciated and I
thank you. n 6/18/08, Tanya wrote:
