I recently lost my 4 year teaching position in an Ohio suburb due to a failed levy and layoffs. My question now is, if I am not fortunate enough to land another position, do I choose to sub in a potential district or do I apply for a charter school where I will most likely get hired? I can afford to sub for one year but that's it. I would miss not having a class full of my own students but I would have the opportunity to make a name for myself. Are there any good charter schools in the Columbus area? I have heard nothing but negative feedback on charter schools. Please help!

I had children with SEVERE special needs in my ...See More

I have worked in two different charter schools for the past seven years and I've had positive experiences. Do not think that just because they are a charter school you will get hired. The hiring is just as competetive as a traditional school. We conducted s...See More

Jennifer Which charter schools do you recomend working at? Most of the ones I have looked at pay nothing. The school districts where I live start teachers off at 40,000. Does your school pay that? Otherwise, I think I'll substitute and get my name in where they pay well. Thanks!

Sub Tough call. You originally posted a while ago. Have you heard anything as of yet?

I long-term subbed this past spring after I finished student teaching in the winter. On one hand, I might worry for you that you will be unhappy going from a situation where you are THE teacher to a "stand-in" who must follow rules, lesson plans and other ac...See More
