Post: Anyone in Duluth/Superior? Repost from GATE
Posted by Shana on 8/18/08
Hi Folks:
I'm a teacher of the gifted with four years experience
relocating from Jacksonville, FL to Duluth, MN because my
fiance just got a new job. While I'm scouring the internet
for openings, including on district websites, etc, I'm
still at a loss. I'm not really picky at this point -- I'd
be glad to take a classroom teacher position and would even
consider a music one as I have experience in that area too
but I've found nothing but dead ends.
Except one tiny one.
I was offered a part time job -- about 25-30 hours a week
as an assistant at a private Montessori school. My instinct
was to say no way. It pays less than subbing and the
schedule would not be as flexible when it came to things
like job interviews. While I don't relish the idea of
subbing -- I've never done it before -- the pay is $95/day
according to the Duluth public schools website. Three days
a week and I've earned as much as I would working afternoon
as a teaching assistant.
On the other hand, I don't know if sub work is plentiful in
Duluth. My question is, does anyone have experience with
substitute teaching in this region? In Jacksonville you can
EASILY get enough sub jobs to work every day if you want.
Is it quite so easy in Duluth/Superior? I am willing to
drive to Proctor, Hermantown, etc.
Thanks so much for your help.
