Source4Teachers???

by subber123

Feb 23, 2011

Does anyone else sub for Source4Teachers? Do you find it more difficult than usual to find sub jobs? They claim there are all these jobs... but I'm honestly seeing far less than when S4T wasn't supplying the subs for the district I work in.

didn't like source4 There was a sub shortage until the layoffs happened. I'll be honest, I started the process with source4 and found them rather annoying from the beginning. I wanted to have a back up to my regular district and thought it would be nice to be in different districts once in a while. I started the process with them, and went to their beginning seminar. ...See MoreThere was a sub shortage until the layoffs happened.

I wanted to have a back up to my regular district and thought it would be nice to be in different districts once in a while. I started the process with them, and went to their beginning seminar. There was a certain bureaucratic issue I had to deal with (odd and nothing wrong on their part). However, they never returned calls or answered email and I just found them very frustrating to deal with. I also found their process annoying for someone who is a certified teacher. They didn't really work with many schools in my region as well...which they should have told me from the start. I'm much happier dealing with a district directly....perhaps find the nearest very large multi high school suburban district to you? I'm getting work again every day since the flu is going around...hopefully work will pick up for you too.

Seniority

by Mike

Dec 2, 2015

I was a counselor for over 10 years. Recently my district abolished my position and hired a supervisor / counselor. My njea rep said I don't have seniority bc it is a new position. My argument is that she still sees over 150 kids and I should be entitled to that case load. Any advice?

Leave Replacement Teacher

by Julienne

Dec 1, 2015

Do the leave replacement teachers get paid close to the same salary as the regular teachers? Or do the leave replacement teachers get paid like substitutes?

ron/nj I find it hard to believe that they won't release you and simply hire someone. Honesty is the way to go, tell the new job and see what they say. The board where you signed could make things very difficult for you in regards to license. Try talking to them again being overly nice but firm. Good luck and post update.

Thinking of quitting w/o tenure

by fireslost

Oct 28, 2015

I am a forth year teacher who missed the three year tenure by a month based on my DOH. I am no longer enjoying teaching based on District and bureaucracy. If I resign my position what happens to my license and my pension?

ron/nj Your license is fine and has nothing to do with resigning unless you don't give the required notice. If you leave earlier, that's a different story. If you never teach again, you might be able to get monies back paid in, not sure on that point. Talk to the union regarding the pension. Good luck.

any 1/2 days from heat?

by ron/nj

Sep 9, 2015

Did anyone get out early this week from the heat? I think the law is if it reaches 88 or 89 degrees in the building. It had to be that hot in the schools w/o ac.
