My son and I took an introductory college tour at the University of Tennessee today, and the strangest thing happened. We got to the math building, and one of the parents on the tour reached into her bag, pulled out a flyer, and tacked it to the bulletin board near the Math department. It was a flyer for people taking the Math Teacher Praxis exam - which I am taking in a month. I copied down the website on the flyer: [link removed]?

I'm a first year teacher coming from the University of Virginia, looking for a music teaching position (strings is my preference).
I've got all my applications in to about 10-12 surrounding counties, am working with Southern Teachers Agency for the private schools, and have been emailing my resume to principals, hoping to get a jump on other applicants.
I'm am attending grad school in Nashville part time in the fall, so I am looking for something in the area, but I have been applying in Virginia just in case.
My question is, when does TN do the bulk of their hiring? I keep hearing "it's early in the hiring season" but I'm antsy! VA schools, especially Northern VA schools are already in the midst of hiring... when should I start getting phone calls for the fall, or better yet, when should I start to worry?
I'm hoping and planning to move to Tennessee this summer and I'm currently searching for teaching jobs. I've sent my resume everywhere surrounding Nashville - I want to be near the city, but not necessarily in it. Well I've gotten a number of calls for interviews, and I've heard mixed reviews on the schools that are part of MNPS. I got a call for an interview with an enhanced option school in Nashville...are these okay schools, bad schools, good schools? Basically since I'm not currently there I'm wondering if someone can tell me what they're like so I know if I want to spend my time interviewing there. Thanks in advance for your help!
Please send me your e-mailed I am interested in teaching ESL and I know there are many vacancies.
Thank you, ME

Thanks, James

I've been reading about Family and Consumer Science and think it would be a fun subject to teach. I would love to return to my hometown of Memphis. My advisor says the oppertunities are endless in teaching. Are they really? Where ever I go I want it to be a metro area. I don't see many openings on sites I've visited. Is it still offered in all Memphis schools? I've also been told that it's not the old Home Economics anymore. Little or no sewing and cooking and more Life Skills. ?? Also, I would think it may be a bit more enjoyable to teach because it's an elective and students who take it want to be there. True? Thank for you feedback. I have to decide a major soon and home I get some answers here.
If a teacher resigns after three months that sign a contract and want to re-hired in the same district, what are the possibilities that he has. He was hired 2 years ago and wants to teach again in the same district. Please any advice.
My colleagues at the Vanderbilt CSO are offering four one-week methods workshops for Tennessee teachers this summer. Read all about it at [link removed]:).
A daily stipend will be offered to teachers who attend one or all weeks, and I'm teaching the final week--on Tech Tools (think Web 2.0). Though the CSO site states "High School Teachers" the workshops are actually also available to MS teachers, and my own is open to anyone, science teacher or not!
Here is my situation - I at at a complete loss and am in shock and SCARED.
I am a non-tenured teacher with 4 years of experience, but 1st year at this school. I was just told my contract was NOT being renewed for next year - meaning my insurance will stop at the end of July as well as my paychecks.
1. I have received ALL excellent and positive reviews from both my principal and special ed. director. (He even drew smily faces and a guy jumping up and down on them!)
2. I have had NO complaints the whole year.
3. I have been there and only was out 3 days total for my son having a fever.
4. I get along with everyone there.
5. I agreed to go back to school while teaching to get my special education certificate (only certified now k-8)
My principal was and has been talking about my program for next year with me UP UNTIL I told him I was pregnant. However, he did not say it was because I was pregnant - it is policy not to say why you are non-renewed.
I NEED ADVICE!!! What are my options? Do I have grounds for a lawsuit even though TN is a right to work state and non-tenured teachers can be dismissed for any reason? Can I prove I was let go for being pregnant?
THANK YOU FOR ANY AND ALL ADVICE - I do not know what me and my family are going to do with me not having a good job!
Scared to death,
Heather P.S. I am going to repost this on other boards too to try to find someone who can help.
You should look for a new school. You can't make the principal want you to stay and he has the right to renew or not. If you don't have tenure, he is not obligated to explain the reason. And even if he had to give a reason, he would not admit it is the pregnancy, even if it was.
I have seen many principals hire teachers when they were obviously pregnant, so it is not an impossible situation.
