experienced teacher needs job

by frustrated

Jun 26, 2008

I have attended two job fairs with the St. Tammany Parish School District. I have a Master's Degree and National Board Certification. Does anyone know if a teacher can be considered an expensive hire? I am puzzled how a teacher just out of college can get the job over someone who has experience teaching a variety of learning styles, interests, differentiates instruction to accommodate the ADD, ADHD, bipolar, learning disabilities, and intellectually gifted all in one room? I have proven my ability to meet national standards and to be recognized as a Master Teachr. Please give me some insight............. Thank you

I will continue to pursue a teaching position, even if I have to start out being a highly qualified substitute. I conveyed my love for teaching, learning, how I will work as team, I gave in depth specifics on my classroom management strategies, how I help to bring students up to grade level expectancy, and how I encourage parents/guardians to come and celebrate learning with their child. I felt as though I had established excellent rapport by drawing principals and interview members into conversation. Knowing that I did not get offered a teaching position twice in a row hurts so badly. I will miss having my own class so much when the new school year begins if I do not find a job.

To: FRUSTRATED My principal and the principal at our feeder school middle school were both interviewing this week for RHT positions. Keep in contact with principals at the schools you are interested in. It sounds like they are still filling positions.

Knowledge from Inside the Parish Speaking from someone who works inside the parish, and not as a teacher, I can let you know it is EXTREMELY competitive for those that are certified to teach at the Elementary level. Degree level, experience, certification level are not factors to not hire someone, in fact the principals do not even know what the teacher's are being paid since the ...See More
