Has anyone here done this along with the Park Pointe online classes? I'm thinking of doing it. I'm a private school teacher with 15 years experience, I love my school, but I wince every time I think about the fact that I could be making almost double the money in a public school
I've been applying for a over a year. I filled out over 50 applications, but I only got 10 interviews, and none landed a job.
What is wrong with me?
If I am resigning from my teaching job and my district chooses to hold me for 60 days, can I just walk away?

Jobulator was a phenomenal service when I was a substitute teacher with The School District of Philadelphia.

As a sort of alarm clock on both my computer and iPhone, it gave me the jump on jobs from which non-subscribers did not benefit. It was certainly more than worth the 40 or so dollars per year that I paid for it, as one day's employment would amply pay for that. That is the plus side. Now here is the contrasting downside which, frankly, causes me to despise them: my position as a substitute teacher with The School District of Philadelphia, as well as that of all other subs, was yanked at the end of the last school year when The District's own Substitute Services was replaced through outsourcing to a firm in Cherry Hill NJ (Source4Teachers). Needing bodies for classrooms, they turned first to us, but offered drastic pay reductions, in my case, over three fifths! I would have to have been stark raving mad to have accepted that, so I did not. Now, it turns out that Jobulator subscriptions run out in February. This means that, as my employment-and consequently any means of using Jobulator-were terminated by no fault of my own, they logically owe me a prorated refund. But repeated e-mails to them regarding this have all gone unanswered. And e-mails have been my only avenue of communication, as they have no phone number, no address, and not even any human name associated with them. Instead, you get a faceless corporate entity known as "the Jobulator Support Team," which is, of course, a cruel joke. Yes, what I am owed is a piddling amount, but multiply it, if you will, by the number of dislodged Jobulator subscribers in the same boat as mine; that is no doubt a sizeable amount. So, by my way of thinking, Jobulator has become a band of faceless, nameless thieves. I am eager to return to this chatboard to read about the experiences of others with Jobulator.

Can you still add certifications to your PA cert by simply passing the corresponding Praxis exam? Looking to add math and science certifications, as well as social studies and history certifications to my K-6 Elementary Education teaching license. Any help would be appreciated.
