My resume was reviewed by Teach NOLA and I've been invited to interview, and I was worried after I read Merrill's post.

NOLAteach I'm happy to help.

Lack of teacher tenure is a sore point for many teachers here. I work for the Recovery School District (RSD) which is run by the state and is also where most of teachNOLA's recruits are hired. I would say that teachers who do what any normal teacher is expected to do have nothing to worry about in terms of maintaining t...See More
