After waiting for a referral to Japan for two years I opened my selection world wide. I received a referral to Naples today for ms social studies and ms general science. I have been teaching hs social studies for the past 7 years so that's probably not in my favor. However, I have been teaching at an alternative middle/high school where I currently have 5 preps and a very transitory student population. Im hoping this will be in my favor, along with my veterans preference. Im convinced that the VP is next to worthless though.

Lindsey I would say that the position is for this year. I was just referred in November and going through the process now.
